+:EXPORT_HUGO_CUSTOM_FRONT_MATTER: abstract I want Linux phone, but it doesn't seem ready yet
+:END:
+Recently, I've become very angry with my iPhone.
+Not only Apple is actively trying to become the worse company in the business[fn:apple], but the UI of the phone is getting worse with each version.
+This makes me sure that my next phone won't be an iPhone.
+
+But then, what do I need the device for?
+Do I even need an /Android/ and toy with de-googling it?
+
+It seems that I primarily need:
+- phone calls
+- SMS
+- Browser
+- SSH Client
+- XMPP client
+- Email
+- Acceptable camera
+- Audio jack and local music playback.[fn:ip]
+  
+It isn't much, so it looks like /Linux/ phone, like /PinePhone[fn:pine]/ would be more than enough.
+
+The one thing which stops me from ordering one (together with that amazing keyboard case[fn:pinekb]) are the not-great reviews, like the one [[https://zerwuerfnis.org/daily-driving-the-pinephone-pro][Zerwuerfnis]] recently posted.
+
+Now, as listed above: I don't need a lot.
+But I want the phone do those things great.
+I can accept ok-camera (with sadness), as there still are great point-and-shoots on the market - often much better than the ones in phones.
+I stopped taking lots of photos[fn:photos] some time ago anyway.
+
+What I can not accept is bad reception and bad battery life.
+I am a father, and therefore phone is primarily an emergency device.
+I need to be able to call the doctor whenever I need to, and I need to be reachable by the daycare.
+And, from what I read, /Linux/ fails here.
+It is much better than /iOS/Android/ and being geeky toy, but it is not ready to be a phone.
+
+Seems I will need to wait a while longer to surround myself with superior mobile experiences, like SXMO[fn:sxmo]

+[fn:ip] iPhone, of course, looses this test.
