A $500 "secondary" device when I can already buy a Pixel for $200 and install GrapheneOS on it. Oh, and it's stuck with the QWERTY layout, who would buy this?
As if there's any alternative to Android. Ubuntu Touch or KaiOS will allow you to send SMS and pretty much nothing else, opening email from a web browser will instantly dump 20% of your battery.
isn't ubuntu touch decent battery wise? at least that's the experience I had on a msm8937 device I ported xenial to based on halium 7.1 a few years ago.
I don't see how this is "designed to be a secondary device" it basically has all of the features of a midrange phone. Sounds like the marketing is just playing it safe?

If it didn’t run Android, I would tbh

I think QWERTY is popular enough

I think I will get one to mess with, and wait for a Linux distribution I can install on to it.
