I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    Doesn't that basically equate to "yep, this is an android phone?"

    Yup. My current one is dying and I'm using it almost always wired to a charger or battery. I don't care how badly they try to waste my battery, I'm not buying a new Android phone ever. If this one dies, I'm prepared to not use a phone until there's a reasonably priced Linux phone.

    Just replace the battery then. Most phone shops have the ability and tools to do it in about an hour to 3 hours.
