Samsung SCH-R390
Also known as the Freeform 4.
I used this extensively and enjoyed it at the time.
Samsung SCH-R480
Also known as the FreeForm 5.
No significant changes from the FreeForm 4 beyond aesthetics.
LG UN280
Also known as the Freedom II.
I used this extensively and enjoyed it at the time.
iPhone SE (2016)
I used this extensively and despise it.
Unihertz Titan
I used this extensively and despise it.
Bad hardware keyboard (no dollar sign).
Vendor unlawfully non-compliant with GPL 2 licensing on Linux, for this reason I would avoid this phone like the plague.
Pine64 Pinephone
I love this phone a lot.
Hardware keyboard available as an extension; hardware keyboard also adds a second battery, tripling the battery life of the phone.
Firmware is proprietary by default but the vendor allows using free firmware.
Punkt MP-02
Sucks.
