Hah, I do too. I should have thought of this. I'm going the Fairphone 5 gets pmos support soon as I'd love to switch to
that.
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5) I read an amusing thread, I think on the pmOS Matrix channel, where a chart was posted showing the 5 as the best-supported phone with 100% hardware support. A detractor pointed out that 100% in this case doesn't remotely mean what it usually means: the speaker audio is totally broken, with a link to this comment: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/3793#note_518...
The two things that really keep me tied to Android are Android Auto for navigation in my vehicle, and Signal for obvious reasons. I can do without Android auto if I must since I can always just Bluetooth connect and get vocal directions, but it's less convenient.
Yes I will have to maintain an Android phone at least for a while, maybe a nice Xperia crippled by Sony for the Canadian market. Telus has a prepaid account that would get along well with my newer Xperia, since neither the phone nor the plan will do wifi calling. Mike
