    So it's a physical switch in name only. No actual hardware disconnects.

    Looks cool, but I wouldn't call it a privacy phone.

      Strange nitpick. I never heard of a phone with an actual hardware privacy switch. Is that a thing? I don’t think that’s enough to dismiss the „privacy phone“ label, given it is indeed a phone focused on privacy, and that label doesn’t have a strict industry meaning.

      Though to be honest the privacy switch is a gadget feature, I don’t expect anyone to have an actual use case for this

    How many random no-name phones are we going to get with bad software maintenance post-release that all rely on cruddy SOCs?

    It's cellular and modular, but is it interactive-odular?

    I'm loving the physical keyboard, but only 8gb ram is a tough sell!

      On a phone? What are you doing with all that ram?
