I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Give me a normal good smartphone with a 100mm OLED display that I can use with one thumb and I'll never have another want in this world. The iPhone 4 was fine

But.. Why? I could use one-handed-mode and use it with, well, one thumb. That's the best of both worlds. Unless you just want a tiny phone.

I've generally found the one-handed utilities on iOS and Android to be inconvenient and they don't help me well enough with horizontal stretches

(yes I really want a tiny phone)

Then just use an iPhone 4

[–] lyth@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very dated specs, no software compatibility, probably no carrier support, if you got it to connect to the internet it would be highly insecure from years of no updates. Tragically it's very much not an option

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fine, get a Fire Phone

Just carry your own landline with you at that point then

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's newer than the iPhone 4.
