While my ASUS C101P is great for subway productivity when seated, I can't use it when standing or on the go. Missing my PinePhone Pro Micro Laptop, I've looked into the #CosmoCommunicator again https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Planet_Computers_Cosmo_Communicator_(planet-cosmocom).

Its mainline story is not great sadly, but then it seems to be awfully close in some ways to the #MT8183 that has decent mainline support https://www.notebookcheck.net/MT8183-vs-Helio-P60_11547_10012.247596.0.html. Obviously, the MT8183 lacks a bunch of stuff the MT6771T has, but ... that might be a starting point, right?

So thinking on getting either the #PinePhone or #CosmoCommunicator because both seem very tinkery plus I love phones with physical keyboards!

I just bought a Cosmo Communicator. It is a palm-top computer but also a cell phone. It also supports linux... this is going to be soooo epic.

Sometimes it takes a while, here is the 2019 unboxing article of one of our #CosmoCommunicator s https://blogs.intevation.de/sengelhardt/posts/0002-cosmo-communicator-hands-on/ Basically an open micro-notebook, a smartphone with a keyboard. And yes, you can run GNU/Linux on it https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo :) #openhardware

To explain why I think it's QWERTY Linux Smartphone week: Go read Brad's great takes on the two announcements:
1. https://linuxsmartphones.com/cosmo-communicators-linux-os-gains-new-cover-screen-features/
2. https://linuxsmartphones.com/fxtec-pro1-x-smartphone-runs-ubuntu-touch-or-lineageos-has-a-physical-keyboard-crowdfunding/

Not sure what the mainline story with these two devices is though, but I am at least going to look into it for the #CosmoCommunicator.

This – thanks to fxtec's #Pro1-X and planetcom's #CosmoCommunicator anouncements – definitely is QWERTY Linux Smartphone week. Time to show my #QWERTY handheld fleet!

The latest @planetcom2017 #CosmoCommunicator Update seems quite interesting. #Linux desktop with call functionality! https://vimeo.com/472188188

The #CosmoCommunicator now has a v2 build of #Debian #KDEplasma #Linux that includes SMS and Phone calling apps!

The Cosmo Communicator smartphone now runs KDE Plasma Debian Linux. Nice!
