| USB voice modem for non-phone devices? |

Just a suggestion but how about selling a pine64 branded usb dongle based on the eg25-g modem? It could be handy for those who own single board computers, pinetabs or even ordinary x86 desktops.
Seems like a natural step considering the work going into the firmware for the pinephone. The usb audio interface for voice calls pretty much works out of the box (after some help from a-wai) - here's a quick video demo.

| Bluetooth: When discoverable? When pairable? |

Hello all:
I just got my PineTime 4 days ago. Very nice bit of kit!
Where can I find somewhere that documents under what circumstances the PineTime is discoverable (advertises) and under what circumstances the PineTime is pairable?
Based on some experimentation, after a reset (button held for 10 seconds), the PineTime advertises and can be paired. Then, after a few minutes, it stops advertising and can not be paired.
However, looking through the InfiniTime source https://github.com/JF002/InfiniTime/, it would seem to read that there is *no* limit on the amount of time that the PineTime advertises. Take a look at these two comments, for example:
./src/components/ble/NimbleController.cpp:
"// For now, the advertising is restarted as soon as it ends. There may be a race condition that prevent the advertising from restarting reliably."
"// We already have a bond with the peer, but it is attempting to establish a new secure link. This app sacrifices security for convenience: just throw away the old bond and accept the new link."
These comments make it sound like the PineTime never stops advertising, and never stops being available to pair (even when already paired!)

I must confess that I write mostly to be the first to write.
However, I already have a similar device and I like the idea.
The only thing I want to say is that it's important that once it's put on sale it already works distinctly because with that price, unsatisfied people would become harassed.
From my side, on paper it all looks great, probably already the best specs available in the market for this kind of device.
I hope you will also focus on the sleep of the hardware, because one important thing about ebook readers is that they last a long time when used only for reading.

| Pinephone fan case w. StructureCore cable option |

I just would like to mention that I made a pinephone case printable in 5 colors, containing the Tux logo and Pine64 logo (sort of fan item I would say - don't expect it to be a "protective" case). It is available with or without a protector for an OTG cable and a cable holder as well. I put the item on thingieverse in case anyone else would like one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933237
I also wrote a small piece of scanning software for StructureCore on the pinephone (it only scans and records, some preview and settings, nothing fancy). In case anyone is interested the source code I would love to share it. BTW You can find a protective StructureCore shell here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933248
Summary for StructureCore on pinephone: there is nowhere near full scanner performance, I can scan around 5fps using the pinephone. It's great fun anyway! I just compiled (on manjaro) and it worked (except their windowing; however, gtk3 works finewith the library on manjaro).
