I just like eating feet

Because the default commercial software is trash.

would be nice

Omay, but, and hear me out on this: what if we added microtransactions to your email app and keyboard app?

Capitalism will never give you nice things. Sorry.

I'm gonna carry around my steam deck and add a USB camera module, a GPS module, and add some meshtastic radios modules, and I'm gonna daily drive it as the ultimate all-in-one device, and Mr. Google Pichai can't stop me! xD

Permanently connect it to a power bank?

Really gotta get rid of those.

Reminds me of old cell-phone service options. Free hours, rollover and prepay/pay-as-you-go/contractless etc.

Not sure how pricing/value actually compares, but it does seem like if you want a phone now for emergencies you're going to get fleeced (also required data package). Unless maybe you buy a flip-phone or something. A fiber provider in my area even still charges $40 for a land-line (no idea if it's VoIP).

Iam still sad not having titanium backup with root on my current phone

Given the recent situation with AOSP I understand why some people find it a deal breaker. Thank you

In my country all you say is kinds the norm... wtf is up with telcos in wherever are you from?

1. great use case for a mobile device /s
2. lithium ion batteries are really nothing to feel comfortable around
3. wasting energy is wasting energy

So - no, it's now expensive electronic scrap, sadly. While my shiftphone easily lasts 24 hours with regular use and 3+ days on standby.

wasn't paying attention - my bad.

Oh you know, they are given free reign because

Internet pricing/speed isn't great either.

Tale as old as time.

It won't happen due to voice over lte.

If calls/SMS are not 100% then it’s not a phone

Mmm yes incomplete ROMs with a ton of self-congratulatory posting

good idea however if you ever feel like needing a phone again..
i have one word for you:GrapheneOS
