I’m interested in a phone with a physical keyboard. There is a mod for the FairPhone I spotted, but that’s not fully supported in the US yet. So I’m looking at buying the inspiration for the mod the BlackBerry Key2. I’ve heard it can be hard to get other firmwares on it. I’m particularly eyeing CalyxOS. Has anyone had any luck with this.

This is almost exactly what I’m after. Will probably pick one of these up and experiment with flashing it. The big assumption I feel like is that the keyboard just registers as a normal HID/USB device and will work with any os. Fingerprint and stuff could be fiddly, but we’ll see.
