I grabbed a couple of Heltec v3 modules since they were the right combination of price, features, and fast delivery. I've got a Lilygo T-Deck on the way (the blackberry one) just for the novelty of it, even if I don't think that's the direction these devices should move toward. I imagine I'll reevaluate my hardware choices once I become more familiar with all of this.

Progress for today was the start of a weather module:

where green is me using one Heltec module from my phone, and ec00 is a script running on my BBS and responding after fetching data from openweathermap.

Whatever you can imagine doing here with the Synchronet JS environment and all BBS data is on the table. And it doesn't have to just be text messages, this is just an example of a simple user-facing application.

Sending a message like the one I'm typing now, however, would take several packets. I'm not sure if that kind of traffic is welcome on the network, so I'm still pondering what exactly to do with this.
