I really like the idea of having a physical keyboard on my phone. I'm looking at the pinephone with the keyboard module and it looks pretty cool.

You could try one of these: https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo

But is seems like Ubuntu Touch support was dropped and their own Linux AFAIK never worked very well.

On a related note, are there any accessories that you can attach to an android phone to give it a keyboard?

Use an usbA to UsbC adapter, then you can plug in any old usb keyboard, not practical if you're planning to bring it with you but i think it's neat that it just works

Can also add a mouse, or use an usb hub to have both mouse and keyboard
