The pinephone has this, but unfortunately the phone itself is more of a tinker toy than a daily driver

what prevents it from being a daily driver; i use the browser instead of apps for everything except google maps.

Software, OS support and hardware specs.

Overall it was a fun project which introduced me to the company Pine64, which also makes the Pinetime Watch which I wear every day for the last 3-4 years.

Phone just isn’t there for daily usage. Horrible battery life, back then the OS worked but were wonky at best. Maybe things are better now but I wouldn’t hold my breath

I tried using the pinebook as a daily driver and broke it by updating the os; worst $250 paperweight ever. Lol

That is a point, could someone even do that on something classed as a phone though? Don’t most places have some kind of law about these devices always being able to reach emergency services like 911?

It’s mandated that the service be available without charge (no SIM needed), but I don’t think there’s any regulations on the user disabling cell access themselves.
