Pine Phone now and future

[bcnaz]

Devs, Could we get some clarification on what networks and countries the pinephone will work with?

As far as I know there is only 2 countries it may not work with, US and China, the chip was picked because it covers everything else. The company that makes the 4G chip has other chips that do work in those countries but then everywhere else won't work.

i will buy one for testing on t-mobiles US network (probably the batch after the brave heart, less buggies the better) but excluding the US market imo is a mistake. (i am bias  ) Maybe make the 4g chip replaceable in future models could solve the problem or offer two models. idk what is more economical.

fyi - my US 4g phone works on the t-mobile network in the UK too.

Hmm...  ?
  Worst case scenario,  That could be 100% accurate,  but...  seems to me, a lot of the time stuff like that drags on,  schedules fall behind.

  There were places here in the US that were dragging their feet on leaving the 2G behind .

  F O L L O W  the money,  it is supposed to make everyone purchase all new equipment,

 when cell phones first hit the market in my area I was forced to buy one.

Verizon bought the local radio phone service and turned it off the next day.

  With the radio phone I could make calls while being over a hundred miles from the repeater,  with a cell phone I have to be close to a cell tower.

 Now from what I hear the distance is even shorter as we go from 2G to 3G to 4G.

   Anyhow,  I am going to purchase a "Brave Heart" and use it as long as I can....
