Hopefully in the years to come they'll slowly reduce the size of the phone. 162mm tall is just too big for comfortable single hand usage.

Exactly. I still cannot fathom why a company which prides itself on sustainability ditch the headphone jack. Granted, I don't use the one on my phone often, but I'm very glad that it's there when I need it.

Early 40s from Australia. I can drive a manual, but my present car is automatic. My motorcycle is manual though. :p

Definitely agree with what you said. The problem is finding the funds to support the athletes. Not all countries have the means to do so.

Best guess is they wanted a very well defined and controlled file structure, where there's a place for each type of file, and the only way to do that is to lock it down and have their tool do all the work. Good for some people, but heck, I bloody well want to store my MP3s together with my photos, even if it means I can't find it later. :D

I borrowed an old iphone 4 (or was it iphone 5? Can't tell the difference) about 7 years ago when i had to send my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact in for repair). Couldn't get it to work thw way i wanted it to. There was no way to properly configure the notifications. I think i could not have the vibration on for messages but not calls or something silly.

I also don't like being forced to install itunes just to copy music from my computer to phone. No idea if that is still the case nowadays.

There are people who like that convenience and that's ok.

I ended up using my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact for 4 years, waiting for Sony (or any other manufacturer) to release another phone of the exact same size. No, the Xperia 10 is not compact at all. I ended up with an Asus Zenfone 8. I still miss the dedicated shutter button the thw Sony.

It worked for me. If you have your own server to instsll Nextcloud, thays the best. There are free Nextcloud hosts with free accounts you can try.

What I don't like about tge Fairphone is the size. Coming from a Sony XZ1 Compact, it's just gigantic.

Unfortunately Fairphone just doesn't have the economies of scale to be able to release 2 phones of different sizes.
