Those features aren’t free though – according to a note on the Void Phone website, “basic MDM costs are $2.50 per phone/month.”

At the 100pc minimum that's a guaranteed extra $250/mo cost. I know that's relatively cheap in enterprise terms, but what a racket for something that's mostly going to be "set it & forget it."

Well, it also just stifles adoption. No enterprise on the planet is going to go for this because there is already the hurdle of telling your employees they need to use some non-Android or iOS phone that they are all familiar with. Linux phone adoption would probably have the most penetration amongst hobbyists first, but most would balk at paying for 100 phones upfront.

Hobbiest think they want it. Till they realize it sucks at phone stuff.

I'd love a Linux phone but it would need a decent navigation app. Nothing compares to even apple maps yet. And work in the car over reversed android auto or something.

I'll root for it just so they can bring back their model with the jack.

Outdated specs at launch ? Yep it's "enthusiast grade"
