Introducing the Beepberry: A Hackable Raspberry Pi with a BlackBerry Keyboard for Beeper.
Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble smartwatch, has developed a messaging device called the Beepberry, which is up for pre-order for $99 or $79 without a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The device features a mini-touchpad, a Sharp Memory LCD 400 x 240 screen, and a backlit BlackBerry Classic keyboard. It is meant to be used with the all-in-one chat service Beeper and is essentially a dumb phone that allows texting and nothing more. Migicovsky says that the current form is not the finished product and is just a devkit.
