I just purchased one. Swipe typing on it now. I'm seriously impressed.

It's far from perfect, but, she's a great phone.

My family and friends are loving the replaceable usb ports, battery, camera etc..

Thanks for that. I'm not exactly sure what extra it gives. Is there anything about it that makes you recommend it?

Google is enshittifying Android fast, check the Android communities on Lemmy and you'll see plenty of details. Running a Linux phone can avoid all of that.
