I want a "linux blackberry" semi-dumb phone. That is....a device that does the following:
  • SMS / IM
  • Phone calls
  • Basic camera
  • Very long battery life (my original blackberry could go 3 days easy on a charge)
I don't want anything else....I feel this market was a missed opportunity by the likes of Ubuntu / etc. They naively have been trying to complete feature for feature against newest iOS / Android, when in fact they should have instead focused on "minimally viable product".

Totally! That phone is much needed, one that may not have it all but that could go fast and stable for the basic functionality. One that could get all its libraries installed by the user. Then the user will compile all the apps himself. Like in a raspberry pi. With an open source vpn as an opt in for all types of communications (calls, sms, internet) then there would be no one put pressure on to reveal or implement a backdoor.
