Okay. I have a month to pick out a new phone before I can no longer cancel my pre-ordered Light Phone 3. I really like my Light Phone 2, but living without a camera has been a little too limiting, and the folks in my life would really appreciate me at least getting that capability back. I am still bitter about losing the headphone jack, though.
But I'm starting to wonder if the issue isn't that smart phones do too much, and more just that smart phones are not something I can control. Plus, they all look boring.
There aren't a lot of open source phones out there that are super compelling, but if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations, or just weird niche mobile devices, I'd love to see them.
Kicking things off, I came very close to going even more minimal than the Light Phone when I found Sky's Edge Rotary Phone. I wanted this thing so bad, but folks in my life vetoed going that low-function pretty hard.

Je ne m’attends pas a beaucoup de réponses vu mon audience et le fait que je suis peu loquace.
Mais y-a-t-il ici des personnes pouvant me conseiller sur un #smartphone #handicap moteur compatible ?
Mon fils de 16 ans est atteint des 4 membres et est très spastique. Nous cherchons une solution pour qu’il puisse répondre ou appeler avec sa motricité réduite des mains.

I use #fdroid but #google may be enforcing #developer registration in #android soon. This has the potential to end F-Droid altogether. Well this is definitely inconvenient. Hopefully some solutions and workarounds are available, up to and including new #mobile OSes.
#apple is just as nefarious as Google when it comes to #user #privacy.

#FSF is investing in de-Googling #AOSP
https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project
The Free Software Foundation #FSF is hiring Rob Savoye (of OpenStreetMap) to create an all #FLOSS #smartphone , apparently they want to reverse-engineer the binary blobs that ship in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and fork AOSP to create a new smartphone #Linux distro.
@GrapheneOS if you haven’t contacted the FSF about getting in on this, you may want to consider it, it sounds like you have similar goals.

HMD Touch 4G is an unusual phone launching in India this week - leaks point to a small phone with a squat 3.2 inch display, a Nokia Lumia-inspired camera bump that's somewhere between a feature phone and a smartphone. https://www.gsmarena.com/hmd_teases_touch_4g_hybrid_phone-news-69808.php #HMD #Phones #Smartphone #FeaturePhone #HMDTouch4G
