the Jolla phone is the way to go

Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

I mean the downsides are it’s Linux. That’s not without it’s upsides but the downsides are huge.

Would a phone have that many downsides? I would think that a computer would have much more. Maybe the phone companies don’t play nice? I 100% don’t know what the downsides would be.

From my research, the phone part of the “phone” doesn’t work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.

Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.

Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.

Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.
