Open Mobile: new site selling phones with iodéOS to USA customers

@rik Have you considered selling iodé merchandise as well, e.g. T-shirts? (Does the iodé team themselves sell any branded T-shirts?)

:slight_smile:

P.S. With the company’s authorization, of course.

I have run this in the past, but no phone calls in 3G-less land over here at the time (and group MMS messages didn’t work at all… sadly USA users need these due to iOS infestations :-). There may be one or 2 handsets that possibly support VoLTE now but I know it is still fairly unreliable. Anyway, point is that Droidian or Ubuntu Touch, mainline postmarketOS, or Sailfish are all possible for a tinkerer. Only FuriOS is polished enough I suspect and even then may not daily driveable just yet depending on use case (OK sorry now I am the one off topic!)

There are some serious downsides for anyone that feels the need to run MicroG I accept, but if you are used to getting every thing you need via webapps and you are only using Waydroid for FOSS apps then most all the functional snags are at least mitigated if not completely eradicated.

Only major downside on my system is that I can stream video but can’t record it. Some what ironic after what I was saying earlier about Sony and their camera tech’. I accept that it is going to need a lot of serious development before it will have any appeal for those that want to keep a foot in both camps, but I have a feeling that even they will have to bite on the privacy bullet at some point in the not too distant future if screwgle continue to have their way with android.
