#2This is super neat! Well done. Very well done. I love the dual battery, hard power switch, good keyboard.
I know how hard it is to do these right and I’m impressed.

#3This is one of the very few Cyberdeck kinda things that looks like it could be actually useful. I love it!

#4I wasn't expecting to see buy now links, so I wasn't too disappointed when I did see them but found they both say out of stock - was completely ready to impulse buy the BB Q20 keyboard version (or either, really!) and hope that having registered to hear it more being sold I'll be able to get one.
I'd almost be tempted to try to put one together myself, but it's not something I'd find particularly easy and there's other stuff I'd rather spend time on. But might be tempted...

#5If it used the Blackberry Passport format (and screen) I'd love it even more.

#6Shame it's not available for purchase at the moment. Would like one.

#7This form factor is so tempting. I’ve gotten close to pulling the trigger on the minimal phone like 5 times but just don’t know if I can actually reasonably switch from my iPhone and not end up annoyed with the change (https://www.minimalcompany.com/).
But a calm, keyboard oriented device just seems great.

#8I wonder if simply adding one of these ESP with GSM builtin would turn this into a practical linux phone.

#9Very similar to the Beepberry. Exciting to see someone else building into that form factor. Also love to fun to see the Nokia BL-5C battery (originally introduced in the Nokia 3650 in 2003) still alive and kicking 20years later.

That appears to have been renamed to the Beepy, and the product page now has the repurposed Blackberry keyboard blurred out. Did whoever owns the corpse of Blackberry go after them for trademark infringement?
