Not me. Android is an easy pick, not because Google is perfect, but because the alternative (and there is only 1 alternative) is worse in so many ways, especially for freedom.

Just being able to use a web browser with proper ad-blocking and paywall-bypassing alone (Firefox Nightly) is enough to make the choice easy, not to mention being able to use an SD card for storage, being able to connect via USB to my Linux PC and download photos, I could go on and on.

I completely forgot about the open USB/SD card stuff even though I use it all the time. Yeah that is pretty cool.

I am more projecting onto a potential of things like Linux Phones. Once they get the stability issues resolved, they have the potential to be something wonderful.
