Since mine functions as a glorified raspi, I simply drilled out cameras and destroyed the mic traces on board, but worx fine as device to use for services that *require* stupid phone app cancer.

yeah I'll just tape mine and keep it in a box and make it a rule to hold a decent chunk of my money as cash so I can leave it in the box. And put a decent sized banknote in the box so when I forget to do a sell on my monthly payment of sats, I have something to tide me over until then.
Cos it looks like revolut is gonna be a problem on this bloated battery phone. for some reason play store is not showing the app.
God, I had dreamed about not having one of these things and this bullshit is kinda annoying lol. But if it must be cash, cash it will be. Xapo card is from a Gibraltar bank so it should be no hassle especially from here in UK for cash withdrawals, and later, I'll be back in EU, it will be ok for that too. Outside the EU holy moly they charge a lot. In bosnia, it was 6 euros to do a cash withdrawal, flat rate.
So, for whatever reason, though this motorola defy's NFC is flaky and the device has unlocked bootloader, it can be "rooted" with magisk, it was, but I uninstalled it, and anyhow, Xapo app installs just fine on it. But for whatever reason, Revolut app isn't appearing. So I'm gonna have to put away the nunchuk wallet and coinkite tapsigner... I have bitcoin core installed anyway! And synced!
Yeah, the G51 is going to be sold for whatever they will give me for it, probably not much but idgaf, I want this 5g nephilim shit outta my life.
I only need to get a small epaper reader device and I can even just use that for gift cards at the local supermarkets.
ooh I'm looking forward to monday.
