I have a g22 and strongly dislike it. It's the phone that finally convinced me to go to Apple. Though I'd prefer if Google-free Android were practical.

- kspacewalk2 3y agoA budget Android phone convinced you to go to a manufacturer whose phones start at about double the price of that budget Android phone, for a basic (SE) phone? You'd prefer a Google-free Android, presumably because it would put you more in control, but you're convinced to go the exact opposite way to a completely locked-down platform? It's a little bit confusing, is all.
- CalRobert 3y agoWell, I think what I want _is_ a basic phone. I want a low powered cheap phone that runs an operating system that isn't openly hostile to me. I don't want fancy, big, etc. But I can't find a cheap basic android phone that isn't also user-hostile. I don't _like_ iOS but my options are * faff about with Google-free android, not be able to use banking apps, etc. * Give up and accept google's terms * Give up and accept Apple's terms I really wish Ubuntu phone or Firefox OS had taken off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS And Apple's seem better.
