Well, you convinced me. I'm going to get rid of my lightweight handheld computer that can also make phone calls so I can carry around a laptop that by default will not make a phone call.

I don't know much about the Linux phone scene, but I'm taking a look at Ubuntu Touch again.

I think they offer a way of virtualizing it, so I might do that to try it out since I've never played with it before.
