$400 FFS. All my phones have been cheaper than this.
Agreed. You can get a very good Android phone for $400.

$240.
Can run e/os (basically de googled, more secure android), though its currently in alpha, a bit buggy, if you want more security.

Show one of your phone with an e-ink display and full keyboard.
I've always bought used phones off eBay, won't pay more than $150. There are sellers on there that recycle phones professionally, just like the off-lease PC companies do.

Well, stop buying new shit. I'd estimate 80% of the things I own were bought used, created by me or found on the side of the road and repurposed/refurbished.
