        The most I’ve payed for a phone has been 350 €. Alternatives to the current duopoly must exist and I am glad they are getting more recognition, but this would still be double of what I am willing to pay; like, I earn 1,151 € a month, so 700 is the better part of my salary.

      There’s an argument to be made that this is a reasonable price, and that much cheaper phones should be treated with high suspicion.
