Well, I understand the dev is continuing to work on that UI, and there is a T-Deck "Pro" coming soon, so perhaps it will improve shortly.

Still, even without the cool UI the T-Deck is the best #meshtastic device I've used so far, and if I were to recommend one to a person just starting out, the T-Deck would be it.

Other devices are cheaper, better battery life, etc. but being truly self-contained is a game changer.
