I'm currently prepping a Fxtec Pro1 that will become a daily driver once Lineage OS is stable on it (thanks TDM for your hard work - once I find a book on how to mod android ROMs I'm gonna join ya).

It turns out that I really wanted this N900 instead, I just didn't know it and at the time was too young to know about it.

There was some sort of attempted revival product called the Neo900 but it looks like it is dead / not updated any more. [1]

In the meantime, I will definitely order a PinePhone once they are in general availability and not pre-orders (sorry but Fxtec burned me so bad to get the Pro1 that I've learned my lesson RE: mobile device pre-orders), and I definitely will if Pine produces a physical keyboard for the PinePhone.

I'm really intrigued by the Fxtec hardware, but I won't buy a phone that ships with Android. I'd buy in a heartbeat if they supported a Linux SKU of the thing.

Definitely interested in adding Pine's take on keyboards to my PinePhone.

I don't know what you mean with "SKU" but SailfishOS seems to run on it: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2467-community-build32120u...

I mean sell me a product that doesn't ship with Android on it. I don't have the money to burn on expensive hardware that I then have to figure out how to flash with a probably unsupported OS to get to work.

I actually threw out my G2 yesterday (battery was missing, and it had been sitting in my drawer for... 10 years?), and it made me sad. Every day I pine for a sweet slider keyboard.

So, this Fxtec Pro1 is super intriguing! I'm sorta stuck on iOS right now because my entire family uses it I would screw up their Messages game if I was on a different platform.

Also, people have PostmarketOS running on the N900. Sure, it's an ancient device, but that still cool.
