This is awesome stuff. Fully mainstream Linux with a normal userland running on a modern handset with all features will unlock a tremendous amount of change once it's there.
Things like running a distributed database for a community on top of the devices they own, hopefully also running true mesh networking.
I didn't know about the FLX1S+, which looks about as close as to what I want as there is right now.
What I'm looking for is an 8GB phone that I can run Docker on, to host apps like DHIS2 & OpenMRS3 (so a JVM). I have the impression that this isn't easily possible with Halium-based kernels, but I'm not an expert.
Edit: oh and full access to the radio chips, so I can set up mesh networks (and a cherry on top :-))

It's already unlocked on other more open phones. Why do you think this time it will be different?
