I'm planning to get a fairphone before my current phone dies, so I can try out Linux on a phone and still have a good android phone if it doesn't work out.

I really really hope it does work out though.

Would be amazing if you could dual-boot. Could run Linux as your main, and dual boot to something else for banking apps etc.
