Man, I really hope they're the manufacturing partner GrapheneOS is talking about, or they at least include Verizon support on future models. T-mobile just doesn't do it for me out in the middle of the forest.
How long ago did you check that? I know T-Mobile's network has gotten a lot better.
And they're even launching that satellite service where you can get some small amounts of data through Starlink.
I did a stint on Mint Mobile for 2 months while I was experimenting with jmp.chat, ported back to US Mobile on Verizon last week. As a bonus, Graphene got Verizon's visual voicemail working while I was away, still can't get T-Mobile's working without their crappy app.
There are huuuuuuge gaps in T-Mobile in the north woods, which honestly, I'm kind of ok with since I'm looking to start using my phone mostly through KDE Connect. But visual voicemail has been a sticking point for me for awhile. Satellite is interesting to be sure, but it's going to double my US Mobile bill at $10 for 2GB if I remember their pricing correctly. That's not a huge deal, but for something with very limited capabilities at the moment... eh. Also, fuck Elon Musk.
I'll see what happens with Graphene's phone, or if I give in and buy a Fairphone. I really want an SD card for music. I'm less than thrilled with DAPs, and might just get a Fairphone with a dongle running Lineage for that, while I continue using my Pixel 8 on Graphene as my phone for now. I'd love to merge the two, though.
Also considering an Xperia to run Sailfish, but I'd have to go back to I think an Xperia 10 OG version to get band 13 and Verizon support. That's a 6 year old phone, and only supports 512GB SD cards. Might actually be able to mount larger, especially in Sailfish, but... I'll see if I can get one cheap maybe.
