@jeremiah to the best of my knowledge, all of the Linux phones suck (as in, the baseband module sucks and it can't reliably serve its primary purpose of calling). And the ones that don't suck have proprietary baseband modules which means we're back to square one.
My point being that there ultimately is no choice; you'll be stuck with either an Apple phone or a Qualcomm chip either way. All the flavors of bullshit in between are just a false choice dichotomy.
