    The design is good, but I don’t really like the form factor (it’s too big). The case is a non negotiable item for me, so curiously it would all depends on the availability of clear cases. I’m waiting to see how is this handled in Phone 3

      The Nothing Phone (by CMF) has an e/OS image, though it is in alpha and seems to currently have some fairly serious bugs.

      https://community.e.foundation/t/official-e-os-builds-for-nothing-cmf-phone-1-tetris/63297

      From this post, it seems that the Murena / e/OS people are looking into selling a CMF Phone with e/OS once the support is better, but that probably won’t be happening in 2025.

      So… yeah, I too would very much appreciate a non google OS on a Nothing Phone, and it is frustrating that a reliable one doesn’t exist… but there is one that at least is being worked on.

        e OS is everything but secure

        While they have no Google services, they still have no way to back up locally, they support Google accounts, and a non encrypted or even privacy oriented cloud provider is integrated deep(er) into their image than it has to be, making me question the integrity of E as a whole

          You didn’t specify a security focused image.

          You just said non Google.

          You can run e/OS without interacting with Google at all.

          ???

          Like, you’re not wrong that e/OS is nowhere near as secure as Graphene (who only support Google hardware, lets hope there aren’t any SPECTRE or MeltDown style hardware flaws/backdoors) or Calyx…

          … but you didn’t say you wanted a security focused OS… you just said you wanted a non Google OS.
