Clicks Communicator is like a modern BlackBerry with a few new tricks (but it's designed to be a secondary device)

I don't see how this is "designed to be a secondary device" it basically has all of the features of a midrange phone. Sounds like the marketing is just playing it safe?

I'd love to Daily Drive this thing

A $500 "secondary" device when I can already buy a Pixel for $200 and install GrapheneOS on it. Oh, and it's stuck with the QWERTY layout, who would buy this?

[–] IceBlade@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think QWERTY is popular enough

If it didn’t run Android, I would tbh

As if there's any alternative to Android. Ubuntu Touch or KaiOS will allow you to send SMS and pretty much nothing else, opening email from a web browser will instantly dump 20% of your battery.

Gotta start somewhere

isn't ubuntu touch decent battery wise? at least that's the experience I had on a msm8937 device I ported xenial to based on halium 7.1 a few years ago.

I think I will get one to mess with, and wait for a Linux distribution I can install on to it.
