@jolla looks interesting, but 500€ for pre-orders and even 600€ - 700€ is quite expensive for me.

Longevity of my phones is determined by wear and tear, and accidents breaking the display. So, 350€ is my personal limit, with ideal around 200€ and less.

Wish there was a low-spec variant of Linux phone.

I need just calls, microSDXC storage, and good enough camera for documentation photos,... and performance, for non-demanding apps I use, is irrelevant.

@Miroslav Kravec so no faiphone for you either?

@jabgoe2089 same price category. Though, I used new iPhone 7, but it was a company provided phone.

For me, it's unreasonable to spend such money on utility tool with a high risk of physical damage. Breaking 200€ phone hurts less.

One phone I broke with slip from sunchair and only 50cm fall, but at unlucky angle on concrete.

The minimum monthly wage after taxes in my country is 660€. As a developer I earn more, but it would serve me (nor my family) no benefit to spend it on premium phone(s).
