After the “original” BlackBerrys (pre-Android), which I greatly miss for their physical keyboards and battery life, I’ve been searching for a device that’s ideal for using a terminal on the go. I’m intrigued by foldable phones but fear they might disappoint (besides being extremely expensive and often having questionable cameras).

Does anyone have experience with them and know if it’s feasible to use a terminal app (like Termux) comfortably on these devices?

    @stefano@bsd.cafe I pretty much gave up … yes, I remember how nice my old #Nokia #E71 (a loooong time ago) worked as a terminal.

    Nowadays I just have #ConnectBot and #HackersKeyboard installed, it’s “okayish” for occassional use, I did fix a few issues ad-hoc on the road, but really only for “emergency”…
