> Why go the privacy route on my laptop, then have a smartphone? Suggestions? One of the things I considered quite a while ago, was getting a "feature phone" that allowed Bluetooth PAN -- a way of tethering via Bluetooth to it. This would allow me to get a feature phone with hopefully less tracking than our modern-day smartphones, but carry around an Android (or Ubuntu, perhaps?) tablet. That's the other thing you could look into -- while the baseband is still not free and open, Ubuntu Phones themselves are. As far as I'm aware there are no proprietary parts of it, unlike Android (not AOSP).
