Not from that range of devices it isnt, fuckwit troll.

Nope, to allow the handoff, fuckwit.

Like hell it can with all the capability that is included.

Even a terminal fuckwit such as yourself should
have noticed the difference between almost all
and most of, you pathetic excuse for a lying troll.

Even the most basic capability of answering an
incoming call on whatever device is most convenient
with an incoming cellular call isnt even available with
it, you pathetic excuse for a lying troll and it certainly
isnt available in android itself anyway, you pathetic
excuse for a lying troll.

That's JUST SMS, not cellular calls, you pathetic excuse for a lying troll.

<reams of your pathetic excuse for a lying troll flushed where it belongs>
