Keyboard Phones

Is there any keyboard phone out there with some decent specs?

The F(x) Tec Pro1x looks really promising, but I’ve seen many youtube video reviews relating to its various hardware issues (intermittent connectivity, speakers clipping, others I cant remember). Can anyone with one tell me if it’s worth it? I just want something I can type my idle thoughts into, sync my org-mode notebooks, and type on the web.

The Astro Slide 5G looks really good, but I want a phone I hold and type instead of a keyboard I need to place down. Also the price is astronomical.

Ideally I would just shove more RAM and CPUs on my Nokia N900 and be happy as a clam, but that world doesn’t exist.

Also: Anyone know of any phones with a good hardware keyboard case add on? A shell with a keyboard that hooks in via bluetooth or USB?

Regular Phones

On the non-keyboard front, I’m looking for a device that has a decent Lineage community around it, but also that the hardware is open enough to be mainlined by PostMarketOS.

I’m currently putting together a table of the various PmOS phones, their hardware specs, their PmOS compatibility, and the Lineage images they support.

But in the meantime, if I can get some recommendations here too. Nothing fancy: over 4 cores, 2GB ram, and can slide easily into a pocket.

I like the idea of the SHIFT6mq, due to its upgradability, but want to hear from any happy users before I do
