There are also a few other open source Phones:
Every major cell phone provider is an enemy agent, so it will take a bit of effort to get yourself out from under their tyranny and spying.
Samsung S21 is being released next week.
I like the looks of it.
Bye Apple.
They all seem to think 90 million of us don’t count. We’ll show them
Pine also has tablets
Samsung. They’re in a spat with Google for default apps as Samsung wants to use their own and G is playing dirty to force Samsung to stick with Google apps.
Grounds for a massive class action lawsuit? Paging class action lawyers who want to get rich.
I agree. I rarely use my Tracfone. Costs me about $100 year.

Screw Apple.
