Agreed. "Support" usually amounts to little more than "your device connects to our data network" - and that boils down to "Do you have the right kind of radio built into the phone (GSM/CDMA/3g/4g/5g/etc.) and properly configured? It's not like they're going to provide tech support much beyond making sure that connection works properly. Not unless you're buying it from them, and quite possibly not even then.
Well, maybe that's not entirely far - there's some places (and particular techs) that will really go above and beyond trying to help customers get their phone sorted if something goes wrong. But you can hardly count on that.
Providers? (Score:2)
I did a quick scan of some of the articles and did not see any mention of providers who support this phone. Does anyone know?

Why would any provider specifically "support" a phone? Just get a SIM and put it in.
