Basically I’m tired of all the restrictions smartphone companies are adding, and I just wanna have a cheap budget phone with a data plan then just hotspot it to my pocket-pc.

Does such a “pocket-pc” device exist?

    Looks cool, but:

    I don’t think they can even boot from a USB drive? I’m thinking of using a hardware-encrypted-USB (like ones with a keypad built in), set to read-only mode which I would have the bootloader stored in, and use as a boot drive to make it evil-maid resistant. AFIAK, Devices such as the Pinephones only accept microsd cards for boot (correct me if I’m wrong).
