I mean... I'd use it in a last resort kind of scenario, but the T-Deck with is kind of a piece of sh**. Quite disappointed.
Hopefully the firmware adds functionality and better screen info over time.

@ad6dm Personally, I think the best use-case of all this LoRA stuff I've seen is probably in conjunction with ATAK, but I've really not had enough familiarity with that suite of apps or Meshtastic to have anything close to an informed opinion.

@N0LSD I'd agree, but in this particularly poor example the T-Deck has no GPS, no support for encrypted channels, and can only show the latest 1 message in text. Not to mention the horrendously short battery life. So if you want to do ATAK, I'd recommend literally every other possible device, including custom-flashing your own raspberry pi. (and I really dislike Pi's).
