Android without Google – and yes it has apps: The Reg talks to founder about the /e/ smartphone

Finally!

Finally a phone that is just a phone, with no ties and signing your life away. I have always hated the fact that wou have to spen a fair amount of money to buy the phone and then find the hidden cost is access to the rest of your life. I congratulate you on your efforts and I will be booting off Google Android off my phone to re-install this version of Android.

I really hope you succeed in this endeavour. I, for one will be advocating it to all my friends and colleagues.

I still fear the violent monkeys more and what programming they decide to install!
