Yeah don't get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they're trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)

    In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.

    Makes sense to me, especially since I'm in the same boat. I'm looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on

    Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.

    Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I'm thinking of a PinephonePro. It's not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around

    Damn. I remember looking at the Jolla once and forgot about it. Hardware seems good but I do see reports of issues with the local providers (Canada) and unfortunately it doesn't look like they ship here either. Too bad as a Euro designed+built phone sounds great.

    It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.

    Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.

    I mean, for most people I'd wager that "degoogling" is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that's probably an okay tradeoff to make for many
