Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

I mean the downsides are it’s Linux. That’s not without it’s upsides but the downsides are huge.
Would a phone have that many downsides? I would think that a computer would have much more. Maybe the phone companies don’t play nice? I 100% don’t know what the downsides would be.
From my research, the phone part of the “phone” doesn’t work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.
That’s the main thing you’re buying it for…

I’m with you - I’d pay extra for a phone that doesn’t take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.
