Planet Computers just announced a new IndieGoGo campaign, this time for a slider with full Psion-style keyboard. Community Linux support also promised, didn't see Sailfish mentioned this time. Looks very good.

This new phone has Android 10 but SailfishOS HADK uses AOSP 9.0 and there is no HADK which uses AOSP 10 for this moment.

This time the release is scheduled for the next year, so this may change.

Cosmo is much better built than Gemini - I have both and can compare. The only downside is the wretched second screen.

Planet lately released their Linux for Cosmo which works rather nicely. There are some bugs, but much much better than what we had on Gemini.

EDIT: Oh, and this processor has DisplayPort support, so no hacks to get it on big screens. I hope this works better for Linux too.

Well this is so much more compelling then the last 2 models. I'm impress with the specs and the keyboard design. Also the actual use looks to be a bit clunky compared to Pro1, but will need to see more.

Though the longevity of that design will need to be tested. I guess they felt the competition from FX

I'm excited for more competition and this I think gives people who want larger keys to type on a choose. Just a bit thinker, 16.4(W) x 7.66cm(D) x 1.5(H)cm.

I'm not in it for Android, but would this mean that it would get the full sailfish from Jolla. this could be cool.

Here are some pics

Does anyone have a picture showing the underside of the opened device; how is the sliding mechanism actually working? Can it be robust enough?

In this forum I think that most users might be more interested in Pinephone that will get a similiar keyoard later as an addon.
