Flip phone or free/very cheap phone. Certainly won’t spend any real amount of money on android. Like £15 or so second hand them yeah maybe

It won’t do phone calls or SMS but otherwise sure why not. Just call/msg with matrix or discord

My phone is IP68 and you can replace the battery. Does require removing some screws to get the case off but I think that would pretty much be required to waterproof it anyway.

Shame they discontinued Cat phones

Ohh nice, I want it. Don’t really know what I would use all of it for, but I want it (but don’t want to pay for it).

Currently been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Setup proxmox and a few VMs. At the very least pihole, location to dump some backups and also got a web server for a few projects.

If you can’t even install software on it then its not an overly smartphone.

That is where the dumb phone comes in which only deals with calls/SMS.

How so much? Mine was about £200 after delivery and import taxes. Still my most expensive phone but the best computer I have ever put in my pocket.

Shame that calls/SMS are not perfect, but I have since for a dumb phone for that so the SIM sits in that instead.

Mine has postmarketOS on it, probably should update sometime.

One thing I would like is decent offline maps with good performance, don’t even care of it supports GPS or not. Pinephone has no SIM in it these days and that sits in a CatB40.

I thought that was just the pro?

Pinephone exists now, you can buy it today. It runs Linux.

Calls/SMS do work although are not 100% so if you absolutely need these to be reliable you could get a brick phone for like £15 to cover that and then use the Pinephone as a pocket computer. I used it as my only phone for a couple of years and it was mostly fine, now it doesn’t have a SIM in it and its perfect as a pocket PC.

One I heard recently is a murder case. I’d say it sounds like murder but fuck it he deserved to die

I managed without a phone when I was 8, I can manage now. I often go out without it.
