Just registered to voice my support for the request of alternative payment options (preferably direct bank transfer). I'd happily buy the Pinephone Convergence pack, but Paypal is unfortunately a deal breaker for me.
I guess I can only hold off on my purchase for now until this situation changes or another phone with a similar feature set comes along (Librem 5 isn't an option for me for different reasons).
They might not be easily accessible but they're far from useless, especially considering the current competition in the market.
The only other phone that offers such a feature that I know of is the Librem 5 and while their switches are directly on the outside their drawback is having fewer switches available (understandable considering the limited space), resulting in less control over what hardware can be disabled (Cameras and Microphone are all tied to one switch on the Librem). Plus I wouldn't feel the need to change the configuration that often anyway, but I guess that depends on your use case.
