Jolla Phone (2026)

I have one, it is my daily driver, and I love it!

I like the SHIFT ones. I think it's possible to install Linux on them, and they're fairly open hardware. Fairphones too.

Interesting. To what degree does it allow the software it's running to be customized? Say, if I wanted to install and run dnscrypt on it or firejail the browser, would I be able to?

You can run whatever you want or write. You get sudo.

Excellent. The price point of 700 Euro is a little spicy, but I certainly like everything else about it.

Check out your local marketplace. Many people bought it at discount during first batch and now selling for around 550€ because they figured they need Android or iOS

Thanks for the tip!

Sailfish OS has proprietary components and they were working with Russia, so I don't trust them.

The only proprietary part is the UI, Harbour. The rest is open source.

They licensed the OS at one time to a russian company and broke it off when the hostilities began. Since then they have no ties to Russia at all.
