For me, this was the pinnacle of mobile device design.

Slim, pocketable, physical keyboard, and just so sleek.

I would love a modern day Linux version of this. Decent processor, better camera, and modern networking support. But still small and not a phablet.

Photo of my hand holding a Nokia E71 mobile device. It has a small rectangular screen at the top, below is some control buttons, a D pad, home, calendar, contacts, and email buttons, and buttons for answering / rejecting / ending calls, and below those, a physical QWERTY keyboard.

@Neil Brown seen the absolutely bonkers devices from Unihertz? A company that makes phones for no one?

I have a titan but the Titan Pocket looks more like my E71

*has a look around*
I've been wondering what to replace my current phone with when it finally gives up the ghost. Ideally, what I'd like is a handheld ARM-based Linux machine that happens to also work as a phone (sans Android). Do they make anything like that?

@Jonathan Lamothe so the titan has solid support for Lineage, which is close enough to Linux for me, but definitely isn't.

gitlab.com/ubports/porting/com… there are guides but I treat my Titan like it's made of gold.

They also sold me spare parts directly and had guides for replacing components!

Hmm...
(from the provided link)

Unihertz are GPL violators and have been ignoring kernel source code requests sent by multiple people. Coincidentally, this heavily limits the possibilities for alternative OS projects for this device.
