Who else would love to see a phone similar to the G1 get released again? Modern specs, larger screen, but a similar housing design, just less clunky.

I'd love to see a modern Xperia Play phone with a sliding gamepad! I even considered buying a Surface Duo when it was released but gave up because well, Microsoft...

Turns out that was a good decision

You can put linux on them

The only phone I ever dared to write code on. It was a brave new world.

I still miss my G1.

Give me a modern Nokia N900 form factor and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Better yet if it can dual boot Android and Linux.

This would make me as happy as a kid on a Christmas morning.

This looks perfect! A pitty the price with the currency conversion is kinda prohibitive, but the product is just perfect. I'll take a hard look into it. Thanks a lot for the heads up!
