Have they removed that repo yet that sends base64 IMEI, SIMID,... to zzhc.vnet.cn?
I just picked up a Nokia 6.1 as a development phone (it was cheap and supports Pie). It arrived yesterday and I'm quite impressed! I have generally bought cheap phones for development, and this one is way way way better than the others I've gotten over the years. Really great work they're doing!
How about no Android? Switch to Sailfish OS that was developed in Nokia (as Meego)!
