Smartphone users are usually torn between the two choice — Android or iOS. Their dominance is such that other competing OS like Windows, BlackBerry OS, or Symbian have almost been abandoned.Those who don't want either of them can opt for Pine64's Linux phone dubbed the PinePhone which offers good hardware and software at an affordable rate of $149.
The phone's specs aren't great, but it does include a headphone jack (I wonder if it's capable of using the JACK audio system?) and the article notes that it may provide physical switches for disabling various components. The company behind it, Pine64, also produce the PineBook Linux laptop, which also use an ARM processor.

It's funny how so many Chinese internet pages are so shoddy. Horrible broken English. Yet they expect to get all my money.
Broken English makes me feel dirty and scared. Those are not things that help loosening the purse strings.

At least they have an excuse, but it really rankles when you see horrible 'engrish' and other such bastardisations of the language on sites by companies headquartered in countries where English is officially the native language (though when you wander round certain cities, it's increasingly rare to hear it being spoken..).
And then there's those annoying sites full of spelling mistakes...you know the ones, where colour is always being misspelled as color...

Is that because you haven't spent enough time on sex chat websites, or because you've spent too much time on sex chat websites?
