    I guess this is cool but it would be better with a cellular modem. I had a phone in this format (Nokia E63) and loved it. It eventually flaked out and also the LTE network was shut down so it became unusable. Would be great to also have a MURS or HF radio with a super slow modem for much longer range text communication than is possible with LoRA.

    Loving it. Already be ordering if I wasn’t between jobs.

    What sorts of things can one do programming it? 1/4" nut the standard camera mount I think? Wonder if the radio could dial in my crappy walkie-talkies, enough to send anyway?

    This could be rad if someone could get open maps on it. Tiny little GPS map tool using a keyboard with Meshtastic communications.
