Planet Computers : Gemini - Psion Returns


Tempted by the Gemini, but .. Droid 4 is really where it's at for a pocketable keyboard.

Web + IRSSI + ssh. Sailfish OS. Also Alien Dalvik.

Nomachine NX, PPSSPP etc .

Sadly not much dev/porting. Not even 1/20th of what the openpandora community did.

It has only existed for two months.

I would love one, But i don't have verizon and they are locked down tight
 
Photon Q?

Sprint i have tmobile. You can get them with a hardware moded sim holder, but they don't get lte.

I have an lg f3q would love something else and it is software moded to hell to keep it working, but it has a huge battery, ir port and slide keyboard.

I don't really understand how 'locking down' works. I bought a bunch of droid 4's from USA. Rooted them. Installed sailfish (or cyanogenmod 11) - and my german SIM works.

Droid 4's were locked to not accept US gsm carriers. The rest of the world works fine. Verizon was holding their user base hostage.
 
It has a speaker and microphone at each end, so you can use it like a candybar phone with the lid closed either way up. The only trouble is, since you have it closed you can't see who you're calling or vice versa (and looking at your phone to see if they've hung up is tricker too, I guess).

I've paired mine with a smart watch so I get all notifications on my wrist and can also act on most of them without opening my Gemini up.

Call quality is hit and miss for me. I do like having the option of talking privately without headphones.
 
@Ed try to offer some accessories too; playstation vita pouches for example fit well (if they are not rounded up) :)

Accessories that would be helpful:

Wall chargers compliant with the Mediatek Pump Express 3.0 non-standard. The Gemini ships with one, buying the hub means I have 2. I would like a 3rd one for my travel bag.

Automotive cigarette port 12VDC input chargers compliant with the Mediatek Pump Express 3.0 non-standard.

Screen protectors

Silicone USB-C port protection plugs

Replacement front/back/hinge cover pieces

In-vehicle device mounts - I may have found one that will work.
 
Ended up buying an LG v20 for $200. Pretty great phone. Also bought the 8bitdo keychain pad and a case with included stand. Portable gaming on the phone...if i wanted
 
Quick update: They will be available at my shop in a few weeks.

That's cool.
Maybe I'll get one.
Don't know how long it will take until I can use the Pyra as my main Phone without anything else.
And maybe I don't even want it to be always on and drain Battery.

My current phone is great but Blackberry locks the bootloader and I can not remove Google software.
It's disabled but Apps begin to complain I should update google services. However my phone won't do that even when enabling the.
So I'm pissed by the locked phone and might get an other one.
(Mabe not, as it's expensive and the old one does the job :P)
 
This is a pretty big deal.

Now I'm going to have to find time to load it up. If @EvilDragon were selling these already I would be tempted to buy and run an entirely 2nd device so I don't disturb the existing Android install (needed for work).

ED - how soon will you have stock?
 
Planet Computer also stated that their Debian image was updated and that it now runs much better. I would really appreciate a test of it :)
