It’s a cool gimmick, but a gimmick all the same. Expensive, fragile, thick.

Could you please link to the right place, then?

I looked at Droidify and only found an old unmaintained version.

Lawnchair is no longer maintained?

GDPR is about/against unsolicited sharing of personal information. If OP’s story were in the European Union, that would be a blatant breach of privacy, and the (phone company?) who provided that name would be facing a gargantuan fine.

It says right there in your screenshot that it’s the CABLE that can become damaged.

Like 90% of all the apple cables I’ve ever seen. But I guess that’s different.

I want to switch to this, myself, but haven’t found the energy to do the effort.

Quote from your link:

What can’t be remapped?

• Power button
• Bixby button
• Mouse buttons

‘Podcast Addict’ is an amazing alternative.

And these Google actions are what cause me to #degoogle my life, finding alternatives for every Google thing I use. Damn you Google, don’t be like that…

You’re saying it’s a Nokia.

… to the original Macintosh! Yes, I am that old.

De-Google > use Meta and MS > wtf???

I have fared well by buying 1-year old used flagship phones in good condition.

Cost is a fragment of original price, battery is still fresh, and specs are great, being last year’s flagship.

Also, I tend to buy large-brand models, like Samsung. Not because I have a particular affinity but because it’s stupidly easy to get accessories for, say a Samsung Galaxy S10, as compared to a cheap Xihuawii Z2H or whatnot.

Defo no Google hardware. And not so sure their services either, but moving off the Google account universe is a whole lot more involved than replacing a phone handset. Haven’t figured that out yet.
