Astro

Released on: 2022-11-17

The Astro Slide 5G is a phone by Planet Computers, that has been crowd-funded on Indiegogo.

This phone is right up my alley, and arrived a few days ago. In that time, I’ve slowly been working through the various niggles, like you do with any new phone, and have just started to post them here.

In due course, I have a project lined up, which will nicely demonstrate why this phone is so interesting to me.

In the mean time, hopefully some of these posts will be helpful for you.

I've been in the computer industry for well over two decades. It has changed so much that it is barely recognisable compared to what it was. Most of the changes are for the better. Some are things that we have always sucked at. And some are very much worse. The weCanDoThisBetter series of blog posts is for addressing the areas where we could do better.
