Review of some of the unique features as well as bugs of the Sonim XP5s. I'm not someone who does videos often so the pace is a little slow .. also the screen is a little hard to read , in real life it is perfectly clear. I'm using a GoPro HERO8 , I think it is made more for outdoorsy stuff.

Bugs:
1. When entering an email address as a target for a text message, the editor freaks out when you try to enter an @ sign by pressing the 1 key 6 times.
2. When using the Bluetooth keyboard, the entry mode should always be numeric. Or at least there should be a way to make it as such. The "abc" mode of replacing numbers with letters really only applies to the phone's numeric keypad, not to a BlueTooth keyboard
3. When using the Bluetooth keyboard, shift + number gives you a number instead of the symbol
4. I haven't found any way to edit the keyboard type / mapping for the Bluetooth keyboard. I was prompted for that information one time but have not found a way to change it. I would think it should either be in the BlueTooth menu or in Settings - System - Languages & input

I will update the description if any of the bugs are being addressed.
