This looks quite epic!
Is this an original used blackberry keyboard or a new one build specifically for this?
Who owns the trademark for this blackberry icon nowadays? Is there risk that a random company owning the trademark will sue you?

As you're going to see in this thread everyone wants to turn this into it's own device. Personally I think it's great for field work, I'd like to see a GPS module, lora, and a solar panel.
Given that everyone wants a slightly different hardware customization I'd just like to say I think if you do a version 2 you should seriously consider having some kind of standard expansion cards system. Something like arduino/rpi "shields" of adafruit feather's "wings"?
