Installing Linux on the BlackBerry Q20 is a proof-of-concept project. It is not currently suitable for an everyday phone replacement. Hardware Feature
The hardest part wasn't the processor; it was the BlackBerry specialties. The physical keyboard required specific drivers that BlackBerry had kept proprietary. The trackpad was a nightmare of I2C protocols. And the screen—well, the screen needed to light up without burning out the backlight controller.
