I’ve been pretty excited about this one for while. It’s a modular phone built from the ground up for linux with their own ui. They are still working on lte though.

It’s a tinkerable phone
Except the core component of the phone is an optional accessory that is “coming soon” …
The only part needed is an LTE modem which is a standard part. They’re selling one that’s garaunteed to be compatible. You can bring your own.
It isnt a phone though?
Supports LTE modem on M.2
It can be a Phone, with the right attachments.
Apparently you can add a 4/5G modem as a m2 addon card.
I initially funded the kickstarter only to cancel my pledge before it ended. Nonetheless I intend to get one of these once they’ve been released, if only to tinker with and see what it can do. If it’s able to function reliably as a phone (and hopefully a LoRa device as well, ideally at the same time) I’ll make the switch. Regardless it seems like a nifty lil pocket computer that has a lot of potential. Hopefully it avoids the pitfalls of earlier attempts at modular handheld devices and effectively utilizes the open pin connections and 3d-print tech of today. I suppose we shall have to wait and see. Definitely intriguing.
I’m old enough to instantly ignore every new attempt of making a modular phone.
I’m eagerly awaiting mine. Arriving in October, hopefully!
Never heard of them, but has potential.
Helllooooo my future doom emacs PDA. Thanks for posting this!
Its nifty but from what I understand its not a phone. No phone calls.
And there is now "taco"s that emulate their hardware at the bottom for conventional phones. I would love to have it mind!
