They stopped making good phones when you could no longer flip out a qwerty keyboard in new and confounding ways
I was about to say that my phone might be an exception, but I somehow memory-holed the fact that I got it in early 2020. Wonder why that happened, hmmm.
The day that headphone jacks became optional was the day phones lost any potential to be good
The Nokia N900 was the last good phone, the 4a was the last acceptable phone and I am honestly really frustrated that I find every hardware and software option for my societally mandated pocket device unappealing. Excited to see what state Mobian is in around the time Debian 13 arrives so I can get a phone worse than any I've ever had but will actually spark joy
i had to replace my 4a last month and i still carry it around sometimes
