Okay, I think I've figured out a lot more about how to use the pinephone + keyboard as a PDA type thing.

And, ladies, I've got the answer to the question in every woman's heart: is it a viable portable emacs device?

The answer is: yes.

It does fit in the palm of your hand, and the keyboard is def usable, good enough to write some small programs or read info manuals on the go. I wouldn't recommend doing any *serious* work in it, but... the pinephone makes a better portable computer than a phone, IMO. The keyboard makes a big difference.

This isn't without reservations. The pinephone + keyboard is a bulky boi. Prepare to upgrade your purse.

Also: read the instructions. The powering-on situation of the keyboard battery is not obvious, nor is the "safety" charging requirement.
