@raphael@post.lurk.org @lucyhxc@mastodon.design @ghostsnwitches@post.lurk.org @k2mt@pan.rent @blipblub@autonomous.zone my initial plan was to get one of the kyocera dura, which is android no play store, has signal, browser, jack, camera, very good battery and resistant hardware and is super sexy because it's mud compatible lol but super sad it doesn't cover the european frequencies band (only US)... (i had to double check with the specs of the phone versus a list of belgium frequency band coverage and they doesn't align but maybe there is something i don't know)

@doriane@post.lurk.org if you're dead set on a Kyocera, perhaps check out the Digno models too? The hardware's not really built the same though, it's more like what I have. But most keitai seem to have good hardware (all are waterproof, btw :D) I don't know about the Dura line, but the Dignos (at least the ones I checked) do have coverage in Belgium, iirc. Although I'm a bit surprised that the Dura don't have coverage here. I remember reading that Asian and European frequencies tend to have more bands in common (especially compared to the ones in America)!

@doriane@post.lurk.org One more resource: This discord is all about people hacking r77, Qin 21pros etc with dummyOS. Also people there also disusing alternatives, such as CAT 22 etc. But was a great resource for me before buying and also debugging issues after. https://discord.gg/WCE94hMx
