i tend to think it might not be good idea at this time, however i don't know what future holds.

you didn't specify price for this product. i have feeling it might be too expensive to be useful. battery life for weeks sounds little bit too optimistic.

for development of this product, developing something totally new might be a big task. kde plasma mobile and phosh might be too heavy for this. however, if pinephone gets something lighter, it can be useful for this idea though.
The battery of the flip phone I photographed a few posts above can easily last an entire month without charging (assuming you leave it mostly on idle).
Flip phones nowadays run off a degoogled Android OS, so it's possible to install Android apps on them via adb (like I showed on the 2nd photo).

The 10-key keyboard doubles as a trackpad with a cursor on-screen by the way, you need to slide over it without pressing anything.
