It has become a little quiet here in the last weeks so that I really fear about the spirit and status of this community. So what are your dreams with respect to open mobile handhelds? What would you like as future hardware? What to see in software distros? Anything else? What missing piece

we have developed a prototype for a 80 button QWERTY keyboard PCB ... That's cool news, thet put some hope on top of current lots-of-garbage-but-no-usable-device style smartphone market. b) design a 3D printable case with key-caps that is robust enough I suggest using a scissor mechanism
