gollark: There are some on ebay, weirdly.

gollark: The old one had a removable battery, the new one (which is also pretty old at this point) does *not* and the battery is quite fried, so I should replace it SOON™.

gollark: My previous phones have been in the £100 ballpark and pretty okay for what I need.

gollark: And... 400$ is quite a lot, but we're just used to stupidly high phone prices now apparently.

gollark: Oreo is indeed outdated.
