Y'know what? I do not want a #mobile #phone.
What I **want** is phone services on my laptop. We're talking voice and video calls, messages, and equivalent answering/recording services.
We have all these possible via #XMPP, now, but none of them are easy to use.
So, sorry about Android, but I really do not want anyone to put the effort into fixing it. I won't back that. But I will back projects enabling me to use my current hardware instead of a pocket spy.
@Amgine SIP is a good option for phone calls too (cf. Linphone)
Dino is very decent on desktop, and it's easy to call from it, can you explain why you don't find it easy to use? Devs are on ActivityPub btw ( @dino ). I think that Gajim plans to reintroduce modern calls too.
On Libervia (the one I'm working on), you can even make call from the CLI, meaning that you can easily make automation or your own UI with that (e.g. associate keybinding to someone you call often).
I will work through these this weekend and share my experience(s)
