I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I'm a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

A pixel phone, and then you can put any rom on it.

GrapheneOS gives you the most control.

I was trying to avoid google, but whatever, its not that expensive on eBay.

Thanks!

Check in again around the Holiday season. Chances are that Google will sell at or close to a loss.

i doubt theyll go below 100€, plus on eBay my money doesnt go to Google, very happy.

I'm curious about the 100 euro figure. Is that the sum of component costs?

i dont know, thats just ideally the highest i wanna pay for a mobile phone.

Ah right, well that's also totally fair. Glad you found something decent on ebay
