However. I'll still keep an older Android phone for banking and public administration applications, but just because most of those apps are mobile-only. I never needed an home banking app on my phone, but, it seems that some banks make it impossible to avoid it. I never needed school or e-signature apps or even medical apps on my phone, even if recon that those may be useful for someone. But they shall not be available only on phones.

@77nn @jolla interesting. The stuff I need still require Google Play Services to work 8-/

This could be a nice topic to follow: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-phone-2026-for-everyday-use-in-italy/27275

@77nn @jolla I supported Jolla purchasing The First One, then got burned with the tablet, then had to switch to an Android phone because bank app wouldn't run on TFO. I need a new phone now, and I've been eyeing the next Jolla, but I need guarantees that my banking app will run on it.

@anominominominous
I get your point. Is is easy to talk about everything.
Talking is always easy, but I didn't mean to put this as an ethical imperative, that good willing people should buy, but as a possible alternative for those who are willing and have the possibility to buy it.

In the end, a phone is just a phone, it could never define a person.

But if the concept is adopted, the wider it is, the more offer for even more economic devices will be possible.

@77nn @jolla

Talking about getting a linux phone is easy, but the prices are a huge problem.

I usually don't pay more than 150 euros for a phone, but I've paid roughly 175 euros for my current one.

Paying more than 250 euros for a phone is madness. No matter its operating system, no matter its repairability. I don't care. Most people can't afford rent and food right now.
