My buddy rocks a dumb phone. I’m highly tempted. I do kinda like having slack, email and Lyft though. Any viable alternatives out there? The big two are pretty annoying, aggressive, opinionated, and anti-privacy. I’d be happy with someone who just hasn’t had the opportunity to get bloated and forget that it’s actually about the customer. I remember there was an Ubuntu phone, a Firefox phone, some weird privacy first Black phone. Are any of these viable today?

There's kai os which is the survivor of the firefoxos project. I have one of these you can still do things like watch youtube in the browser because its firefox under the hood.

Get a Sony Xperia X* and load Jolla's Sailfish X on it. I have the Xperia X2A Ultra, and it rocks. Battery lasts 8 days. :)
