If you care about privacy on your mobile phone consider supporting alternatives such as Neo900 (preorders are available): http://neo900.org/faq#floss

I really want to support the Neo900 but the estimated $1,100 price tag for a complete phone is prohibitive.

I concur. Also, the long wait has been too long & the specs were weak when they announced it... how many years ago?

Neo900 & Sailfish broke my heart.

Agree that the mentioned price would be prohibitive.

But looking at how much people are willing to pay for smart watches, perhaps not.

That is a lot, but it isn't any more than a top of the range iPhone or (I assume) Android. For people who get phones on contract, it's probably cheaper to by the neo900.
