Re: What Linux-based phone should I get?

Hi bob.
The biggest problem that you will find with any form of smart phone is
short battery life. With any smartphone you will get 1 - 2 days battery
life. Where as your old phone probably lasted a week.
I've heard of people overseas selling Retro cellphone quite expensively
because of long battery life.
I hope this helps.
