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.

I have one. It has no issues with calling, video, ect…

It works in the states as well. And all apps too. I guess my only complaint is parts are getting hard to come by for fairphone 4. Which is why i bought the phone, to be repairable.
