I’m interested in a phone with a physical keyboard. There is a mod for the FairPhone I spotted, but that’s not fully supported in the US yet. So I’m looking at buying the inspiration for the mod the BlackBerry Key2. I’ve heard it can be hard to get other firmwares on it. I’m particularly eyeing CalyxOS. Has anyone had any luck with this.

    I already have my eye on doing a hotspot from the Calyx Institute and then whatever devices I fancy that have WiFi. I have a phone sized e-reader I already do this with using my phone hotspot, so I’ve considered just making that my norm.

    I’ve also got my eye on a few Linux handheld projects for the same reason, and honestly I might lean toward those so I can get more modern hardware. Could potentially incorporate a usb cellular antenna with a Linux handheld to streamline the tethering process.

    I recently found a window manager for Linux that is designed for phone sized displays. I’m forgetting the name at the moment, but I’ll come back and update this once I find it.
