I just got a fairphone, and so far i have no complaints.
Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones.

It is a tool. Make sure to use it rather than allow it to use you. For my next phone I wish I could get a dumbphone but the need to have something like Google Maps is too strong. I'll definitely just get a cheapie though, or perhaps a Fairphone.

That somewhat sounds like perfection actually:-).
Is the touchscreen experience less smooth than a traditional smartphone?

I switched from a pixel 6, and i haven’t really noticed anything tangibly worse. Read a lot of complaints about the camera, and i have noticed it is slightly worse, but nothing really bad at all.
The circle to select is disabled. It doesn’t have wireless charging. There’s probably something else im forgetting…
All in all, very minor complaints, and i’m overall very happy with it.

Oh that's awesome! I barely use my camera as it is, so that is perfectly fine for me:-). Everything I hear about it sounds so good:-).

These badboys exist - tempted to get the hotspot and navigation version.

Wow and even those have touch screens (most of them:-).
