@jacqueline I would gladly pay $1000 for a phone with an OLED screen, a good camera, some degree of open firmware, a headphone jack, and >128GB of storage. Unfortunately nobody appears to be willing to take my money!

In practice lately I seem to buy phones about once every 6 months, but always something used and under (often well under) $250 and usually with some harebrained scheme about what OS I might put on it that's less awful. Sometimes that succeeds enough that I transfer over to using it. Currently on a OnePlus N20 that I haven't wiped the stock and put LineageOS on it mostly because Signal is annoying about switching to anything not currently running; it cost me $180 IIRC (Canadian dollars). The camera is terrible.
