Sounds like you want the sidephone then maybe. I think this is a cool idea but there's like 8 other implementations for hundreds less. Unless the main draw is Linux, but if it's pushing to run android apps then why not stick with degoogled android like all the others?

I have a pixel with grapheneOS. I'm already degoogled, but this one looks like a cool nostalgia gadget that would be cool to have for a less outrageous price. I like the design and the idea (and the linux part), but I don't think $500 is the price they should be asking.
