Not that I'd get one (I have too many toys), but the phone+desktop has
been a dream for some time now. e.g.:

Personally I'm holding out for a Pyra. Maybe with a bluetooth headset
it would make for a fine phone..

They'll be putting Debian on it. I expect it'll be straightforward to
put Devuan on it, since their previous system (OpenPandora) had people
putting Arch and Slackware on it, and there's a good community who'll
hack away at interesting problems.
