The comments keep mentioning Linux phones, have they managed to get Linux running on mobile hardware that I won't have to go on an archaeological dig for?

Also waiting for this! Would love to get TOH, but doesn't look too promising currently.

It specifies the European market, not sure how well it'll play with Canadian service providers. I'll have to wait and see before dropping $1000 (before shipping) on it. VoLTE is pretty much required here and last I heard that was tricky for Linux phones

For now I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro, but I'll keep an eye on this one to see if it'll be compatible in Canada

I have GrapheneOS on Pixel 8a and given all the recent news I'm genuinely anxious about what's coming next :(

I mean, there are Purism phones. Super expensive, but they keep selling out so I guess they are reasonable.

I have one, and while the actual features are nice, the constant overheating and incredibly slow responses on the phone are reminiscent of a brick laptop from the early '00s

Well that's disappointing to hear. Although it makes me glad that I am too cheap to buy one. 😅
