I love this, ordered one now. I've been looking for something lightweight to use to ssh into various machines. Though tbh it might go into my junk drawer anyway. Maybe I like the idea of on the go ssh more than actually doing it.

I'm in the exact same boat. Look up the BeepBerry. It has the same blackberry like design but uses a Raspberry Pi Zero instead so it actually runs linux. Too bad they're no longer made but you could probably find one second hand with enough digging. For now I just use Termius on my phone but a dedicated device sounds awesome.
BeepBerry is awesome, my only issue is the relatively low resolution of the screen. But it is very readable in bright light. Tradeoffs, I guess.
Looking at the comments for that product I suspect it'll find a home in your junk drawer rather quickly.

I've ordered gizmos from Lilygo in the past and found their support/documentation/updates to be very poor. Once a product is out the door they seem to do little further with it.

Churning out new products seems to be their forte.
