@survey If your answer is 'yes, if only it had whatsapp and all the other closed source propriatery services I need to continue using', then you are really saying I am not interested in #foss #linux smartphone.
Both together will never exist.
If you want such a change, it can not only be the smartphone that changes. It needs to be us users as well.
Like the saying goes: You can't have your cake and eat it

@matv1 @survey I get where you're coming from. The thing is, I _need_ a communication device. I _want_ a FOSS communication device.
If I stopped using these services it would be a pain in the ass for everyone in my personal life wanting to keep in contact, and a significant challenge for my professional life.
Of course it's not ideal. But writing people off simply because they need their phones to to be able to communicate with people isn't ideal either.
@matv1 @survey I'd furthermore argue that it's still a linux smartphone even if you install waydroid on it to meet your personal needs, but who am I. I even used Wine back in the 2000s.
