    Looks nice, something I would hapilly carry arround in my backpack for some really light work or email

    The fact it is a power bank make it a natural companion for the phone itself

          Yep I have one.

          I used it as a daily for 2 week when I got it autumn 2020.

          I couldn’t last a day using it. Basic experience was OK. My second biggest issues was lack of messengers app on (even emails). Most of my relatives are on signal and that wasn’t working.

          BUT it getting better as os’es are developed. There is a working signal app and mail, better battery. I’ll probably retry the experience soon.

            Thanks for sharing it. I’ve been folowing the releases of different OSs and people seems to be working very hard and continously, if that trend contonues I see some brilliant future for linux based phones.

    That looks like it’d be horrible to type on though. Might be a better idea to spring for the PineTab or a System76 laptop for actual productivity, or get one of those “dumb terminal” display and keyboard combos that can hook up to a phone and take advantage of mobile Linux’s convergence features. Or a bluetooth keyboard, which has the additional benefit of being usable for any computer, some of them even fold for portability.

        That rounded edge screen on the JingPad though, not sure if I like that TBH. It would probably interfere with other non-JingOS desktops and probably adds to the cost.

        I blame Android phone manufacturers for popularizing it to the point where everyone wants to do it.

      All the things just mentioned are not even in the same ballpark as the use case for this. This will still fit in your pocket. As one device. Obviously a full size tablet/laptop or BT keyboard would be nicer to type on but…they don’t fit in your pocket.

    Pity the keys are staggered. An ergonomic layout would have been better, especially on a small keyboard.

      Genuinely curious: What ergonomic designs are there that can make a 5-inch keyboard comfortable to type on?
