Classic Nokia 1680 phone from 2008 turned into a Linux mini PC

One of the enthusiasts managed to turn the Nokia 1680 push-button phone, introduced in 2008, into

mini-computer with Linux operating system.

What is known

Hackday Community Craftsman Remu NotModeequipped the phone with an Ingenic X100E chip with a frequency of 1 GHz, a 2 ”QVGA IPS screen, a symmetrical USB-C connector and a 5 MP camera. The Nokia 1680 also received a microphone, Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 4 adapters, Yamaha audio synthesis devices and a BL-5C battery.

It was not possible to install the modem, so this “Frankenstein” cannot call. The enthusiast did not grow together with the graphical interface either. To control the mini PC, you need to use console commands.
