otherwise have been. I've pretty much decided now to ditch my Nokia loyalty because despite all they do with Linux they won't let me manage my Symbian phone using it (none of the FOSS options I've looked at have worked). So my next phone will, if possible, be chosen with Linux support in mind.
"Won't let me manage my Symbian phone" -- in what way?
You could go for a Nokia phone, as long as it's not running Symbian. I don't know exactly, but some of their newer products seem like they may have much better support. Heck, they may even run Linux. And since Nokia took over Qt, they seem to be doing some cool things, so I suspect the support is even better.
I've not actually got one of those phones, just going by some things I think I may have possibly seen. Might be worth investigating?
