Yes, but I want to emphasize that it’s not a lack of skill or focus of the Linux phone developers. Calling is exceptionally complex to implement if you have to reverse engineer all drivers and the used hardware is closed. Most of the other stuff on the software level such as menus, apps, browsing etc. is “basic computer stuff”.
It’s a scam, by being called a phone it implies that it can call people or receive calls.
It also could become quite detrimental to Linux phones in general if the idea that some of these phones can’t call reaches the public eye. Because you just know that the stigma against Linux phones will be that they can’t call anyone. Which like how bad Linux used to be for general users has left it with the stigma that it’s just not functional.

I get that it’s hard to make, but it is the bare minimum anyone expects from a phone. Not having it is a bad look.
If I bought a phone that was literally incapable of calling people I don’t know a way to describe that other than fraud.
