      Drop a SIM card in there and you’re not far off from a modern version of PDAs from back when pocket tech was interesting.

      Not for calling of course. Text only (although everyone texts over the internet now - maybe for data as well).

          I think I just like the retrofuturism of “giga pager”. Of course calling would work but it would be besides the point for me.

          A modern phone could do everything this would be used for on a day-to-day.

          BT headphones

          Or a jack of some description, wires are always better for calls

      I saw a wrist mounted thing the other day, and I was thinking a modern touchscreen version running Linux could legitimately be great with a good mount. This would be perfect for that. You only need a wrist mount that won’t make your arm sweaty…
