Are there any old Linux handhelds worth checking out?
I have Nokia N900, but is there anything older and still usable?

Even if we had full access to everything apple we still would not have support for these phones.
Why? Because no one in the linux community buys them.
You could make one using something like the rpi 3 module or pay a fuckload of money for the pyra

Fine get a pandora, dont come back crying when you realise new linux runs like slow shit.
The reason why thinkpads became famous in the linux community instead of macs(that we can libreboot btw) was because of the quality, modularity and repairability they offered at their low costs from ebay.
Same is true for phones ,no sane person would buy an overheating mess with irreplaceable batteries.
You can call linux users autistic if you want to but you cant call them stupid.

If Linux users aren't stupid then they should be capable of replacing a cellphone's battery. The iPhone's got some beefy hardware, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if someone got Linux working and had a decent community around supporting it. Time will only tell though.

N900 was so comfy, best phone I've ever owned.
There was a Neo900 project that decided to make a newer version of the N900, idk where it went though.

They are almost done, but the project is already old and useless I guess. It is also ultra expensive for what it is.
