[QUOTE="Joseph-Schumpeter, post: 1410470, member: 17994"] I must agree, however, if your mini computer on the go is off most the time, why not make it a tablet with mobile data instead of an actual cell phone. The advantage here is that the tablet with mobile data will prioritize data signals from cell towers. Phones prioritize differently which makes them worse if you're trying to use them as a hotspot. Tablets make great unlimited data hotspots on the go for this reason.. thus you can pop out your based 8 year old thinkpad running linux to access the web from your tablet when needed. Anyway, this is what I've found most effective for what I'm going. I've been anti smart phone since they came out. A flip phone and a tablet with mobile data is the right compromise for me right now. I am really interested in what phones have been successfully leveraged for mobile linux installation, but not for myself.. just grab a thinkpad x220 (nice and small), t420s (medium) or t420 (large) off of ebay, install a good linux distro like Arch and de-bigTech yourself. I'm not convinced even that is a perfect solution, but it's about all I've figured out to do at this point. [/QUOTE]
