@cwebber@identi.ca @sazius@pump.saz.im I completely agree with both of you. I loved my N800. Got into android when I was given a phone as a present. Immediately de-googled it. Next phone was a Nexus 4 (current) with an AOSP based firmware with no Google crap and f-droid.

But I really want to run blob free. On pretty much every phone that means 50% on the phone doesn't work. I'm seriously mulling what to do when my phone ages out. Right now I'm thinking I'll probably build myself a MID with BBB and use SIP/ZRTP for calls.

Hate the direction Android is going as Google carves more and more bit out of the AOSP by releasing newer versions as closed source. The locking down of the phones, etc., etc.

So yes time for something separate and free for small screens. Something easy to port Linux stuff to as that solves the lack of apps problem. Heck maybe take sugar and build on it loved that it was python based and thus easy to get into coding on.
