Now I'm going to rant about my phone problems. :)
My first android phone was a nexus one, which I kept through most of the last decade, running cyanogenmod on it toward the end, until it went unsupported, and I got worried about not having updated the operating system for years.
So, I got a moto revvlry+ cheap on amazon, since it already had a lineageos port, and I didn't want to have to deal with google. I found out why it was cheap after I dropped it in my garage, while working on a bike chain. The motos seem to all be made entirely of glass, and this particular model was peculiar in having no cases made for it outside of a few from t-mobile.
Well, I'd never needed a case before, so it hadn't worried me, but a second drop on the street, while I was riding, convinced me that I need one now. (I managed to shatter the back, exactly the way I'd shattered the front.)
So, I spent the last several months looking for a phone I liked, and found nothing. Ideally, it would have a decent screen, for a low price, and a lineageos port. More importantly, it had to work with h2o, because I really don't use my phone as a phone much, but I do need it occasionally. (I pay $40 per year with h2o -- highly recommended.)
Finally, I gave up and used the old "poke a pin in the map" method, and got a oneplus n200. It's a nice phone, nothing special, but it's got all the android applications, and they're driving me spare.
The setup was crazy. "Would you like to use your google account?" No. "Are you sure?" Yes. "We think you should use it." No! "We really, really think you should." I said no! "You can't finish the setup until you use your google account." Are you kidding me?!
I actually had to make a google account with the initials B and S, just to get that nag to stop. Then I had to delete it so that the phone wouldn't dump all my contacts into it. (And they wonder why they have so many dead accounts.)
