That’s an impressively designed bit of kit.

Guess I have to go barter with the architecture department to use their 3d printer…

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…
