It has front camera. Back camera has to be bought separately and it costs more than 50€

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

... and both seem to have a quality in keeping with the best traditions of Sailfish powered devices :(

Alledgedly - I don't have the additional camera and haven't used the front one other than to check it functions. Pictures posted by other owners have been underwhelming though.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Thanks a lot for the pics, it really helps.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Since we're on a run of photos... I said I couldn't find a case I liked for the Gemini. Chinese ebay vendor I've used before made me a custom size version of one of their standard cases for $20 + shipping :)

It just arrived this afternoon.

Sorry for the awful photography :o

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Very nice. Thank you for the pictures.

Hi,

when i finish to download and install Gemini 7.1 planet 12062018-V1
my device restart and i have android recovery. I don't know why.
anyone have the same problem?
when device start i can do the same thing...
how to resolve this error?

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Have you modified Android installation in any way or flashed dual-boot?

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

I`m no expert, but I would start by building a new rom image on the pc website, and reflashing that using all freshly installed tools and carefully following the flashing instructions, just in case I messed something up.
I flashed a triple boot image with minimal rooted android, debian and sfos, and it worked fine straight out of the box. I did have some initial snags getting connected to flash, but otherwise it was straightforward.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

I never do that

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

I received a mailing from Planet Computers this morning: they are going to make a "BIG Announcement" on Nov. 5, and suggest that people check their web site or social media channels on the day.

Let's see what's coming....

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Yeah, also shared on Facebook.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Maybe they will announce they have licenced the slogan 'Soon(tm)' from Jolla to use for delivery schedules on their webshop.
When their camera module became available to order again (no longer marked out of stock) I ordered one. I think it's about 8 weeks ago, no sign of any action yet.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

5th November, presumably whatever they are announcing will cause Theresa May's processor to explode?

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Anyhow, SFOS 3 is already available for EA :

I am all for proper and just government..
But ..
The concept of destruction of institution ...
ie Guy Fawkes philosophy and subsequent attempt ..
which has become ...fashionable ..as a belief..
(and as history has repeatedly instructed for millennia )
in what expected results ...exactly?

As clarion-call , and blood stirring the philosophy is...
A better stratagem to achieve a lasting positive change for the populace , as a solution makes sense ...
instead of eternally circularly banging humanity's head on the revolving doors of either :

A- failed attempts ..
and the existing regimes using the iron hand to clamp down on the populace...

or

B- succeed...
and result in chaos and most likely a worse regime and conditions for the populace...

A better way there must be.
instead of emotionally "all-be-damned" assaulting the establishment.
.and there is always a better way..
It just must be intelligently discovered...

but enough of this OT from me here.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

I really hope for something nice right here. A landscape QWERTY phone?

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Hm, maybe a link-up with Purism to make a Librem 5 variant in the Gemini form factor? ;)

I'm guessing that the announcement may have something to do with Sailfish OS, but that's just speculation on my part. We'll see on Monday.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

or maybe a new variant with ANY kind of screen on the front that will make it usable as a phone also.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Yep. Any kind of screen has been added. Also a camera and the fingerprint reader / toggle switch thingy.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Looks a sensible answer to the most frequent criticisms - interesting. I would wish for LIneage OS no gapps, dual boot debian, yummy.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Looks great! I would buy one if it wasn’t a for the Tablet scam. Now I’m happy to wait for in stock even if it means a few hundred bucks add-on. and also to see if chen is time panning to announce something before end of year.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

:oNow we have this project. Scam or not time will tell.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cosmo-communicator#/

When will this Q-device face the battle of qwerty device of 2019?

Whats OS will be shipped if any.

I need to meditate to find the true path!

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

I like the look of that, seems to address some of the shortcomings of the last one very nicely.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Just now noticed this new project, but I just can't Indiegogo. Not because of the Jolla tablet thing -- I got half my money back -- but their response to the Youyota actual scam. And by "response" I mean Indiegogo has done nothing and continue to take more money including their cut!

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Well, you can always order the device from the site, when the Indemand campaign is over and they move it to the shop. The price will be a bit higher though.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Yesterday I've succeded configuring 3G/4G for mobile data on Debian 9.6 for Gemini 4G. :cool:

I haven't tried SMS or phone calls, it needs more configuration and I won't use them on my Gemini.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Tried : SMS and phone calls are working, with GUI software ! Yeah, on Debian 9.6 LXQt @ Gemini 4G.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Has anyone tried this site?

It seems that they sell the product for 89 euros, I don't know if it is possible to choose the keyboard, though.

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

But if you need further evidence, I failed to find even a trading address on the site


Meanwhile they claim to have 176 in stock, which is remarkable as the Cosmo Communicator isn't in production yet!

Edit: I think Dave has a word for this kind of thing :)

Re: Gemini PDA (the return of the Psion Series 5MX)
 

Awesome! They even managed to spell "store" correctly this time around.
