In case there is public interest :-) :
I decided to give up on my smartphone
I am not sure if i can use it with my wireless router after stopping to pay.
If yes i will try linux-installer.

It is such a crap that i don't know where to start.
It is a summary of all i consider to be just plain wrong.
I tried, and i tried hard, to like it. Now am done with that.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

Yeah, it is an Android.

The privacy problem is the one part.
The other one: I really don't want to be of those people who fiddle all day, without ever doing anything. Either: do something or: don't
But not that fast-food little bites (we don't hurt you).

The only thing i could use it for for checking twitter, listening to music and plug it to my laptop to have internet with the laptop.
twitter is not that hot, just weird, music i still can listen too and i really use the internet at home, and more than is good for me.

Today, btw, i got the note that i didn't pay and my internet for smartphone is shut down.

If i had more time and a good how-to i would love to test the linux-installer (but right now i got more to do than i can bare).

I like having one too, for the interwebz to pass the time while I am waiting for whatever...music too...or sitting on the couch and wondering what DUF is up to....

Over here there are wifi spots all over the place so I dont pay for service but just connect to the hotspots and surf.

The phone I had my wife started using but I do plan on getting another one or maybe a tiny tablet if they are cheap...dunno...but it is nice to have a tiny device you can pull out of your pocket and troll forums with...
