I think it’s for the Hacker News crowd that’s always clamoring for smaller phones, or phones with a physical keyboard. Potentially for parents to give to their young children, to be able to contact them without getting them addicted to screens right away.
I feel like if the people who make raspberry pis made a phone (or phone components, mainly the board) I would buy the hell outta that bitch. This sounds kiiinda like that but idk that I actually trust it.
I’m intrigued. And although I read the article, I’m not entirely sure who or what this is for. It’s cool, but… what?

Not sure how big those markets are though.

I’m thinking about crafting a phone out if a raspberry compute module (so I can upgrade my device easy with new computing modules released)
I want to add a battery, a modem, a touchscreen and a usb-PD port with video out compatibility
Maybe a little cam to scan documents as well…
What would you do for a sim card? Other than that I’m loving this train of thought
Something like this, I guess
