> So, here’s a question - when were you last excited for a new phone? Well, I mean really excited?
Every time I got one for use as a main phone. Granted, in the last 15 years I first got Openmoko Neo Freerunner, then Nokia N900, then Librem 5 that I write this on; and before that I was a teenager in the era when getting a phone that had a camera was already cool... but they were all very exciting.
I remember the announcement of the first iPhone (somewhat exciting... but a complete disappointment as soon as it released) and Android (very exciting at first, but then slowly getting to iPhone level of disappointment).
Before the Librem 5 arrived I had to augment my N900 with an Android phone for about two years. That was annoying, but thankfully I could get excited again soon enough. I miss the keyboard though, capacitive screens still aren't great for writing.
