So for me, this is roughly what I want in a phone. But the thing is, I bought a phone over two years ago, with better specs for $100 less. That same phone today is priced at $200-$300.
The way I see it the real value add for this phone is the software, and this whole mainline Linux, FOSS, run whatever you want approach is very attractive to me.
But is it worth $700? Is it worth $700 when my current phone is in great condition and most likely will be usable for several more years?
I feel bad, because I do want to support this kind of thing, I'm just not sure that buying __this__ phone is the right decision for me.
For me, I need authy, anki, and a couple of other apps or else I need a second phone. Luckily, anki is open source too and hopefully somebody ports the linux version for the smaller screen.
There is an Authy alternative ready for it.
