Some may find it wild, but at the sunset of the button phone era, Motorola introduced several devices running Linux OS. Most of the world’s population did not perceive the innovation properly. Therefore, the project was quickly frozen. And then the Android era began.
But there were also users for whom *nix operating systems proved quite useful. In particular, all IT managers and administrators realized what a convenient tool they had in their hands. The expected release of the Volla Phone 22 on the market can be called a second wind for admins. After all, having a flexible and scalable system in hand can significantly simplify their lives. Naturally, in the business sphere.
