I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    The smartphone that I allways remember missing the most is the Nokia E7, it was such a cool phone.

    The design is beautiful, the physical keyboard was amazing, sure Symbian wasn’t the fastest or the most modern OS, but with Anna and later Belle it worked well.

    I remember sitting in the lobby of a hospital with my E7, I ran Putty Touch on it and was connected to my friend’s SSH server, and had connected to my irssi screen session, I had configured touch gestures to scroll in the IRC chat and to switch irssi windows based on if I swiped up/down or left/right, the physical qwerty keyboard made the phone look like a tiny laptop, and I felt like such a hacker.

    I was working a job I hated, but on the way home I would watch movies on the phone, and it worked so well.

    It was an awesome phone, and someone else thought so too and it was pickpocketed, a year after I got it.

    A phone like that is what I want
