Thought I'd share this.

It's a portable computing device with Blackberry keyboard and all.
It's having a Sharp Memory LCD at 400x240 (B&W).



More info:

P.S. I decided to buy this device.

Unlimited uses for these these devices.

I've got a few of those BlackBerry keyboards from SoldierParty. They are a lot of fun to type on. I am not as fast typing on them now but trying (not much practice and no BB software).

Stingraze did you use ShopPay? I've never seen that before.

I've spent wasted a lot of time with the 9900 keyboard. This is my old site: http://darkstar.x10host.com/nibble/index.html

I actually used Google Pay for this transaction. I thought it was easier using it for this transaction. (You know, also safer maybe?) This is my first time I saw Shop Pay being used. Seems like Shop Pay is part of Shopify's payment service.

I used to have a Blackberry Passport. I really liked the device, but not having Google Play was a little bit annoying. BB9900 replacement keyboard in different colors is something I used to sell here in Japan some time ago.

I think I'll hold off on this one. There are so many gadgets around the house. One of these days, I'm going to have to have a garage sale on eBay or something.

@Jake

Yes, I found it on the store selling the 386 mini laptop which thcrw739 introduced.
It's interesting that the 8088 CPU can be added. I wonder if the 8088 clone CPUs will work on it. It will be an interesting experiment.

So the Beepberry (now called Beepy) came. I have Raspberry Pi Zero 2 on it.
