It was awesome and I'm positive it counted as one of the first smart phones. The whole thing about it was that it was a "business phone". Plus it had a sweet Brickbreaker game.

Yeah same. It was a terrible phone, but that slider mechanism was kind of great

Motorola Droid X. Stock ROM was a massive piece of shit, it would reboot itself all the time and wouldn't stay turned off. Flashed Liberty ROM and it became the best phone I ever had until one day it just died and wouldn't turn back on.

>tfw you'll never have a smart phone with a good keyboard and maybe some placement for a d-pad simply because people are obsessed with thin phones

It feels so bad.

priv has a pretty good keyboard, no dpad but it has a trackpad so its almost as useful

still makes emulators much more playable than with a regular touch screen though

I have a $20 phone that emulates GBA, why would one need a priv for that?
>>
>>51632580
The point is you dont have to carry around a $20 phone along with your smart phone. But no one should be buying a priv just for emulators. It just happens to be a benefit from owning one.

What prevents me from using my $20 phone as an EDC? What does Priv (or pretty much any current phone) offer over it except for bigger numbers?

>>51632737
You can use an outdated phone if you want, but that's not the point I'm trying to make.

Hey man, I have one of these laying around and not being used... Any suggestions on what I can make with it? I was hoping to get a full Linux installed directly on the device and not getting it via the app... Any idea if that is possible? Any guides? Anything?
