I wish it were this easy to root a Kindle keyboard, I would buy one and use it even today.

Side note, why are all the good bits of smart devices gone? (Shakes fist at loss of removable battery, IR blaster, physical keyboard, micro SD card, and even 3.5mm port)

Have you seen Unihertz Titan Pocket? Keyboard - check, IR blaster - check, 3.5mm jack - check, SD card - check. Removable battery though is gone.

You will also never get any software updates or support in 3rd party roms. Take any Chinese phone elephone/unihertz/etc. and look at their software update history.

You will read many promises of upgrades to the next android version on paid review channels and zero delivery every time. These phones are supported for 6 months after launch at best and are basically e-junk.

Man this actually looks pretty awesome, despite the weird placement of the hard modifier keys. Wish updates were guaranteed
