For the longest time I was hoping for a Surface Phone. I hate android, mostly I hate Google, and after a couple of sketchy moves around Chrome (auto login, etc) I switched to iOS.

I ONLY use a iphone, I don't like it, but hey, its not Google.

I love the surface pen, I love my surface, etc.

Then they announced the Duo

Then they released it.

The reviews are mixed and MKBHD does great reviews, and this one is no exception. The results, its a first gen device that I won't be buying.

I bought the first surface and thought it was the BEST tablet ever, and I have never bought another one. Tablets don't make sense to me, but I don't watch a lot of video, etc.

I really hope that the next version (or the 3rd) will bring me back. Sure, its android, but its also MS. I'm guessing my iPhone XS will last me a few more years, so I hope this will be my next device.

For a review that answers a few of the usability questions, here is Jenna Ezarik.
