i want to validate this concept (and will again in the future): do you want a linux pocket computer that is not primarily a smartphone, but could be an alternative/substitute for a smartphone? i.e. not focused on the telephone aspect, but on text/writing/CLI/web.

one idea (librem 5 has this already): pluggable cell modem if you want. alternatively wifi or tether to dumbphone/other smartphone.

@mntmn This is pretty much how I used a couple old Nokia N900s. Never even put a SIM card in, mostly wrote my own software for it (niche data entry stuff that was useful in my business). Having both a physical keyboard and a precise enough stylus and the ability to easily side load my own native apps written with a toolkit I already knew from desktop Linux was extremely nice to have.
