Jeeeez. Thats interesting! Why is iz the best phone ever made in your opinion? Maybe I need it too?
Edit: I checked. A large quantity of motorola phones seems not to be unlockable and it has android installed. So is it out of support then or how are you managing to not run around with your data for grabs?
#0 kick stand
#1 if you do the chop motion, the led turns on
#2 twist motion turns on the camera
#3 large speaker with extra battery magnetically attaches to the back, it contains the kick stand. It is really really good for music
#3.5 nice fast responsive side fingerprint reader. Not that slow under screen crap
#3.6 no holepunch in the screen
#4 old OS doesn’t contain post 2019 three letter agency spyware
#4.5 240fps 720p camera actually rules
#4.6 can record in 4k pretty good
#5 nice oled, 4gb ram is enough,cpu is enough, has microsd for unlimited storage, battery lasts a day, new battery is 7$, new screen is 55$, new glass is 5$
#6 cost 30$ so I bought 60x
#6.9 magnetic mod 360 camera is excellent, polaroid printer is good, switch-style gamepad is excellent, car dock is excellent
#7 I will eventually crack security and be able to finally do general purpose computing
Downsides
verizon took a shit in the firmware
No headphone jack, curse steve jobs’ ghost
As for network, it is behind NAT so it can’t be accessed directly. And then I don’t run viruses on it. So security wise I’m bullet proof.
I mean it when I said best phone ever made ! My next phone, I will 3d print and I aim to have all of that, plus the headphone jack and removable dual 18650
With a de like kde mobile, it can be closer to a phone experience. Proprietary, obscure and unmaintained drivers for several phone components make such a project harder to develop.
Technically, every smartphone is a computer. Sorry if you thought you bought a phone. :)
The difference is that this is a full fledged linux operating system instead of the proprietary crap that comes with ios and android.
The downside at this point is that it’s not in end user stadium but a lot of folks are working on making that a reality. If you consider yourself a tinkerer, chances are you might be able to test it, maybe on a non daily driver phone if you have an old one, especially if its out of support.
PostmarketOS to actually own your phone.
I can’t unlock my bootloader :*(
Sad face. What phone do you have?
The best phone ever made and probably my last phone. Motorola moto z3. 60 of them plus a large pile of spare parts

Thats pretty imprewsive. Thanks for elaborating. :)

If I understand correctly, this thing turns your phone into a computer. But I need a phone…

a phone needs to be able to make calls and send or receive sms…
I agree but then you shouldnt be talking about operating systems because what you need is an old nokia phone.
Obviously postmarketOS can do that too. But it can also do what a computer does.
