        I still find it hard to understand if we will go somewhere with this phone and if there will be a second campaign that will be able to convince or another form of approach to the user customer who needs concrete quickly and the concrete is the pinphone for the moment in my opinion (not yet in daily use it's true).

              Four letters and a rhyme. πŸ˜‰

              It does lead to some confusion though.

                            Hi everybody, I have a small and maybe tricky (sorry about that) question about Volla Phone : It seems that is based on Gigaset GS290 (same specs and look). Is the UB's Volla Phone image could be used on the Gigaset ?

                              @DansLeRuSH You have to ask Volla, we have not participated in their experiments so far and we do not have either the image nor the device ^^

                                  It it possible to unlock the bootloader of Gigaset devices?

                                  If you get answer to your questition from volla phone, feel free to share it with us. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                                    @makeixo It seems (for a majority of models anyway, even if I didn't find the CS290 in the list) πŸ€” https://www.gigaset.com/en_en/cms/lp/open-source.html

                                      @DansLeRuSH Maybe it isnt added yet.

                                      It would be nice having an port for the GS290. Chinese smartphones may be better but having the option to buy one which isnt build on inhuman working conditions, would be nice - at least in my opinion.

                                        @makeixo Probably (for GS290). And yes it's another subject but I totally agree, I don't know Gigaset especially but I take the decision to systematically ask the manufacturer about the production conditions before purchase.

                                          @DansLeRuSH Well, thats acutally known. Gigasets manufactures in Germany with a high degree of automation. ~ 60% automation. ~ 40 % manual labour without typical assembly lines.

                                            @makeixo OK, I definitively put Gigaset in the whitelist (and thank you for the video) :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
