The new pocket 3 [0] comes rather close to what I would consider ultimate (they listened to the backers, me included, asking for a zaurus like 2 in 1).
But… I am starting to dislike the long term value of this thing; it will break and then it is a throw away. I have most GDP devices and when they break, after about 3 years consistently, they will tell you it is too old to fix.
I ordered the Astro Slide [1] as well which has the same issue.
So the dream is, for me, a slightly smaller pocket 3, keyboard quality of the Slide, with 5g and the swivel screen with 1 Side lcd and one side (color) eink, running Linux and built like the Frame.work (easy to repair and upgrade). I don’t mind bulkier (meaning thicker, not wider); actually, I would welcome it for bigger batteries.
I would toss all my other devices.
