Debian on a phone isn't my priority, but this Galaxy 4 (£25 Carphone Warehouse PAYG upgrade) is in constant use: Night clock (large digits), alarm clock (overrides the earpiece), MP3 player (and get-iplayer downloads), video player, camera, video camera, voice recorder, picture book, PDF reader and FM radio (with a sleep shutoff, so it's usually hard at work beyond my waking day). And because the Debian bluetooth support can be flaky, I sometimes use it for bluetooth transfers from my flip phone (a sealed device) to its 32GB SD card. So there's a few things to be going along with… Cheers, David.
