Has anybody tinkered with #meshtastic and the #lilygo T-Deck (Plus) or Pro?

I got curious about Meshtastic and the idea of a stand alone device w/ display and keyboard...

@dec_hl Depending on your usecase - but for me, an old smartphone with a USB-(power)cable to a tiny Meshtastic module is a much much much better user experience than the T-Deck. Typing, copy/paste, copy URL from a chat into a browser or my IMAP synced notes, or that kind of stuff. Smartphones have a userland and a rich outer environment. The T-Deck not so much.
Of course, if your aim is mainly battery life or not-using-Android-nor-iOS-at-all, then a T-Deck is nice. Or cool looks.
