We’ll see. By the end of the month, they should give us some news.

My Mudita Pure stopped after a month of use and while on my way to meet someone. At the time, I really panicked as I couldn’t contact her to update my location. Long story short, luckily I had a spare phone on me and texted another person for my date’s number and used my spare phone to reach her. But it was a bad experience. Now, I use a secondhand Google Pixel flashed with LineageOS as my personal phone and Hisense colour e-ink phone as a work phone. Hisense does not have Google but I read that it pings to servers in China
I voted for MUDITA TYPE as I have always preferred a physical keypad. In terms of the shape, I like something similar to BB Passport. Colour e-ink, with option to choose the OS; for example, Volla offers buyers a choice of pre-installed non-Google Android or Ubuntu Touch. Removable battery and kill switches like the Librem 5. Audio jack and ability to connect via ethernet - at home I use ethernet and have wifi and cellular data switched off. Ability to browse internet as well as install functional apps e.g. maps, messaging. I watch videos on my phone rather than on a large screen because it consumes less energy. I also prefer using messaging apps rather than SMS because I have my phone off for long periods of time; when it is switched back on messages that come through show the time the phone is switched on, rather than the time the message was sent, and if the phone is switched off for weeks e.g. on holiday, then some messages will never get delivered. Therefore, I use Telegram so messages get delivered no matter how long my phone is switched off.
However, if it is Mudita OS I am not likely to buy it as I don’t want to figure out how to transfer my texts, data etc should I want to change phones. I have used LineageOS for a while now and feel more assured that it is widely accepted and so far it has not failed me, and am looking to try Ubuntu Touch next on a spare phone.

@bel Thanks for sharing your story with us. When your Mudita Pure stopped working, did it just freeze or did you loose network signal?
It’s good that you had a backup device & were able to go on with your day.

The screen is frozen.

@bel There is a simple & easy fix for that, just like with any dumb phone. It’s something that happens with my BlackBerry Q10 as well, from time to time.
You basically have to do a battery-pull & that will restart the phone & get it working again.
