After just submitting my recent post --- I do like your suggestion.

Maybe 2 phones are the way forward.

Maybe a PAYG phone which stays at home on my network for particular needs like banking.

Then a standard phone which is essentially a GNU/Linux distro.... mmm... Emacs on my phone sounds lovely!

you won't even be able to use the closed phone remotely from your main one since the restrictions wont allow remote software to see or interact with the screen

If you're only doing banking at home, why would you do it on such a tiny little device?
