Could have been true with their own OS but BB's use android in the new devices, right? And where you have droid you have countless people ponding at it, so now and then someone is bound to find a crack leading in. Fact of life. |
Re: AT LEAST Two More Blackberry Keyboard Phones Coming
All the Moto Zs are unlockable, and some SFOS adaptions have already been made. I believe we can find a way to make it work with the Keyboard Mod, and it's a landscape slider.

Re: AT LEAST Two More Blackberry Keyboard Phones Coming
I don't know much about the Z smartphones, except that they are big and now have a nice keyboard slider (thanks for reviving the concept), but if true Sailfish experience could be possible on them and the landscape keyboard could be used, then that would be a nice filler for me until your own qwerty phone is out (but it may take time, and is dependent on successful crowdfunding). My Jolla C is dying, and it is dying now.
I don't need the proprietary word prediction if I have a keyboard slider, but were are we now with Aliendalvik alternatives, Anbox and such? Is it usable on community ports? There are unfortunately a few applications that I cannot avoid using and that have no native Sailfish version. |

Paspberry Pi Zero PCB ver 1.3 also sounds promising for ultra-low power consumption of 100mA when idle, but: it would need a USB hub, a TRRS jack, and Ethernet port. I have to say, I am annoyed at concept of memory shared between CPU and GPU; cannot each of them have their own RAM? But that's Raspberry's choice. Make the prototypes first, though ;-) Li-ion can be tricky, and cases are trouble, too. P.S. Would like to see guides on rejuvenating old laptops with new hardware. Currently, there are one or two laptops around which, besides old hardware (still usable), have problems with LCD displays (which will become unusable in a few years, I guess; typical for this lifebook model, in my experience).

In fact the Jolla C is still ok, but would need a fresh install due to lots of unfinished/uncleaned tweaks I did, and someone scrached the screen badly by putting it with sharp metallic objects in a tiny case during a car trip, which now makes me want a new phone. It just needs a new screen, or even just a new screen protector, and time to clean up the software side. I just want Chen's qwerty slider phone and find excuses. |

It also gives flexibility, if you don't need the GPU memory (running headless for example), you can take it back for the CPU... Quote:
Or they were targeting some small sensors and not "real" extensibility of the phone. At some point i remember Marc Dillon talking of things like blood glucose sensor for diabetes, which would work correctly with I2C. Quote:
A bunch of them exists : https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/moto-mods/ And except for keyboard and battery, none would have been possible with I2C. All the TOH where hacked by community. The infrared imaging would not be as useful (8x8 pixels), compared to the normal ones you get from FLIR (works easily on all phones with USB OTG, so a huge market compared to the TOH) are at least 80x60 pixels with fast refresh, that for example gives enough resolution to allow troubleshooting PCBs with detail on with SMD component is dissipating more than it should. But we already had that talk a lot of times in TMO... and were are again out of topic ;) |

Such an odd combination of touchscreen and physical keyboard....
