Get a Linux phone and keep Google from spying on you.

I got a Linux Pine phone a couple of years ago. I wanted it to work, I really did. It is slow, the removable battery life was poor (I would have sprung for new batteries, and swapped as necessary), and the screen was not at all scratch resistant. I would have put up with all of that, but I couldn't get a SIM that would work with it. The Linux phone user groups were of little help. It has been sitting in my closet for almost two years after I gave up. Seriously, I will sell it for $50 in lightly used condition (no promises on the battery!) to anyone who wants a slow Linux computer in his pocket. FreepMail me!

Ditch Pine and get the Graphene OS. I still don't know how to use it for everything, but it works. I also have another Google I use for other things I can't or haven't learned to do with Graphene. It's a work around until I figure everything out.
