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..

As am I.

I'd play around with the pmOS port for it if I were you:

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.

Yup. I get you. That's part of why I got this phone. For when the full lock down comes. I'll have a device that lets me move to Linux
