Your geek cred would be solid for life if you used a phone that, first thing OOTB you gotta ssh into that sucker and install a package for audio. For audio . . . on a phone. And who really needs a contacts manager, cause you got grep, amiright?

BTW . . . you might not be aware of this -- or maybe you are -- but you can (with an add-on package) use the N900's modem directly with the equivalent of old Hayes AT commands! You can literally place a call from the terminal. Now that's gangsta-level geekdom! So don't let that Librem 5 guy dis your skills. You still use the greatest hackerphone ever. <-I write this without sarcasm, btw.
