EchoStar/DISH-owned Boost Mobile is the fourth carrier, cleaved off of Sprint by Ajit Pai and co during the T-Mobile/Sprint merger process; DISH now claims it is able to provide coverage to 70% of the population in the US.

The problem is EchoStar/DISH are saddled with debt and Boost still uses its agreements with AT&T to throw at least some customers on AT&T coverage instead of its own.

Though about six years old, the Gemini PDA (from the same folks who make the Astro Slide) is likely the most modern device with the classic clamshell PDA form factor.

If you are allowing a bit more modernity, they have the Cosmo Communicator, which has a screen on the outside.

>The DriveView program became available to Volkswagen Car-Net subscribers starting with model year 2020. By enrolling in DriveView, Car-Net users may be eligible for discounted rates from some of the top automotive insurance companies in the country. This program can also help Car-Net users monitor their driving by tracking activities like night driving, hard braking, and idle time. These factors all contribute to an overall driving score, which is visible within the Car-Net mobile app and on vw.com/carnet. Through the agreement with CCC, VW Car-Net will leverage the newly released CCC® VIN Connect, which applies driving behavior data at the point-of-quote, making it fast and easy for eligible consumers to connect with potential insurance discounts.
