Could be a simpler phone project, a flip phone (or “feature phone”) that’s a Pinephone (or some other open source linux phone)
Some of us don’t need or want as many phone features
Are there some current flip phones worth considering as an alternative to this kind of thing or to get ideas from?
For this, what features would you add or remove to a PineFlipPhone versus the current Pinephone smartphones?
Yes, I have been looking for such a phone. I want to downgrade as I don’t need all the gimmicks and don’t want the convenience that a smartphone comes with. Never tried the pine phone, but I’ve heard good things and would happily buy a flip phone if they made it.
looks like maybe there might be an interest in this and it could be done inexpensively
there is a “zerophone” project that hasn’t launched yet with estimated $50 price using a raspberry pi zero: https://www.hackster.io/news/the-zerophone-a-linux-smartphone-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-zero-286f36a25fd4
my interest is in a custom ROM on a cheap smart phone
Remove eveything but word texting and voice texting.
