Didn't realise it was a subscription service too. How dim would you have to be to pay 700 dollars for a device on the understanding that it won't work unless you keep paying 24 more dollars every single month?

Nothing. Literally just using your phone is faster and easier.
Sure it's got half decent specs, but all the "magic"(read as almost semi-functional) stuff happens server side.
I'd say it's so far past the border ICE is hunting it down. And no, like $200 half decent.
