That's what we were questioning when we were talking about it, with the
information so far, about this android phone with the touch screen and
buttons, if it could be on an older version of android. Also what company is
it that made this phone. With something specialized as this, that would be
something we would never find out who actually made the phone or what brand
of phone it is.
