If you use this phone don't be surprised if your every move and transaction is watched and hacked.

(3,188 posts)3. It's basically a Linux phone, which should be pretty cheap...
...but instead it's a scam run by a Trumper, so it's really expensive. And slow. And, again, it's a scam! It also looks like they're already backpedaling on the Linux OS for some proprietary OS, so goodbye "freedom", at least in terms of software freedom. BTW, you can "flash" older Android phones with a Linux OS at no cost to you, but it requires some technical savvy.
