I want a dialer command that can be used with pipes and stdio.
I want to consume "signal strength" with AT+CSQ from a command that I can pipe into things.
I want to see nearby towers in a 'top' like interface that shows me what the local carrier environment looks like. I want to enable and disable airplane mode with a command.
It would seem like you could do this with android, but I don't think you can ...

I want a unix phone. I want a dialer command that can be used with pipes and stdio. I want to consume "signal strength" with AT+CSQ from a command that I can pipe into things. I want to see nearby towers in a 'top' like interface that shows me what the local carrier environment looks like. I want to enable and disable airplane mode with a command .

The rest of what you want needs a bit of coding but should be possible to do, just need to interface with the RIL.

Android phones run Linux and most have busybox/toybox installed, which gives you a form of Unix. The rest of what you want needs a bit of coding but should be possible to do, just need to interface with the RIL.
I want to control the phone with unix. I want to perform telephony functions with the command line.
I want to place calls with a command line. I want to redirect stdio into an SMS. I want to query provider/signal/encryption/service with sysctls.
And so on ...
I don't think many unix cellular telephony tools exist, do they ?

That might be the first hardware crowdfunding I ever buy into. I've got a seething rage at just about every aspect of current phones and a huge nostalgia for Nokia's early smartphones. Physical keyboard? Yay. Messages in natural language are one thing, ssh'ing into a machine or writing code is an entirely different topic. Open systems thrive with exactly the kind of software I use almost exclusively. I can live witho…

Edit: to be honest; the Pyra is almost perfect for me (when using it with a $30 Android tablet as monitor it is very close). Currently my perfect all day computer would be a 10 inch tablet running (native) Linux with a stand, 3g and 15+ hrs battery life. I really like the MS foldable mobile keyboard but the only Linux ready stuff are full laptops or chromebooks. The chromebooks have no 3g unfortunately.

Let me clarify ... I want to control the phone with unix. I want to perform telephony functions with the command line. I want to place calls with a command line. I want to redirect stdio into an SMS.

You can always manually send DBus messages to the FSO/oFono daemons, here is an example for oFono:

I expect similar things are possible with Android RILs.
