Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

At $200... Maybe.

AI slop video, no faith in what will (or likely won't) be delivered.

    I can get a new modern smartphone which works without major problems at $80. I see no reason to spend double that on a flip phone.

    Is that phone truly Linux based, have expandable memory, a temeable battery, etc... and does it have a team actively supporting it to maintain and expand those features? I'm saying I'd pay $200 for what they were describing IF real people were building a movement away from the same black apple/samsung rectangles, locked into deep Google surveillance fed back to palantir.
