try to resolve portable issues by smartphone

hi all,
as we have only to do or note apps (no calendar) and i would meanwhile favourize a smartphone, asking here for help/advise.
i'm looking for a cheap/(used) outdoor smartphone with windows or blackberry, no apple or android.
i think windows or windows phone would be the solution.
i think one can now use windows 11 on any phone?
million thanx for any help!

Windows Mobile 10 was

Windows Mobile 10 was discontinued almost 5 years ago. There is no Windows 11 for mobile. The only way to run Windows 11 on a phone is with a high-end Android device running Android 13+, then running Windows 11 in a VM.

Blackberry stopped releasing devices with Blackberry OS almost 10 years ago. Up until 2018 they were releasing devices running Android, but there have been no new Blackberry devices since then.

So anything you get in the Windows Mobile or Blackberry OS range is going to be 5+ years old, no longer receiving security updates, and no longer supported by anyone.

hi john/ken,

hi john/ken,
some tec sites said the restrictions for win11 falled and installed/tested it.
some problems were reported like, i think cam problems or other features not working.
one idea would be old powerful lumia to go for win11.
but better would be, i think, one of the modular phones you can change and upgrade parts.
but have no overview over this market (manufacturer?) and if outdoor also there.
no idea if some tec side gave already an overview on this firms.
other idea would be a feature phone but firefoxos or how this new nokia os, is of reasons not in the run!
thanx for first ideas!
p.s.: i think the answer to this new post could bring the solution close.
please, answer as quote between the lines for better overview and not missing a topic!
million thanx!

i help where i can! maybe you can help (me) too! see in my account under 'track' for my conservations/threads. be nice!
if you don't want to help, don't post crap!
