Just as an FYI to everyone who thinks such products are financially "infeasible" - look at companies like Unihertz (or heck, even Framework). Niche categories can and do attract a small but devoted following.

Btw:

1. Unihertz recently launched a BlackBerry esque phone (titan 2), if anyone reading this is interested. (Not sponsored by them)

2. There are many forums (and I think r/smallphones on reddit) where you can find much more discussion on such topics if you're interested.

Unihertz's phones are unfortunately simply technologically infeasible (to use). Their software is apparently write-once update-never, and any phone you buy of theirs will be riddled with permanent bugs.

If Unihertz kept their phones up to date for a few years after launch, rather than only for the few years prior to launch, they would be an incredibly strong competitor in this space but as they are they are next to useless.

Actually Framework is often asked to build a phone. So maybe the author should partner with them.

Unihertz makes phones in a ton of interesting form factors. And then never support them with updates. The number of phones where my mouse has hovered over the "Add to Cart" button on their website before deciding updates are too important...
