why would you use a Nokia ? Raspberry could be a better option.

The thieves want plausible deniability if they are caught possessing it.

If a policeman suspects you of being a car thief and catches you with a Raspberry Pi, that looks pretty suspicious.

The same policeman wouldn't think anything suspicious about (what appears to be) a Nokia cell phone.

Indeed, who did he have to kill to get one?!

[zirgs]

Well, nowadays a phone like that would be suspicious, because everyone has a smartphone. A BT speaker is a lot less suspicious, however.

I'll have to relay that to my dad who drives around with a small cluster of SBCs mounted into his vehicle

It's not a actually Nokia, it only looks like one. All the parts on the inside will be replaced with parts specific to this purpose.

Deniability if searched by police.

I guess the idea is more not to attract attention in case of a random search, rather than plausible deniability. The phone couldn't operate as a phone... (nor the speaker, as far as I understand it).

Bottom of the Nokia in the video is very suspicious.
