Plans for further HW revisions?

[marcih]

There is now  a possible issue with the existing modem and use for MMS messaging,   Can that be fixed with firmware, or will that require yet another upgrade..?

I CAN live without MMS, but a lot of people it seems cannot...  Next will be the 5g issue, I can definitely do without, BUT....  others will be DEMANDING that next.

I think it's far too late now to swap out a major part like the modem and still call it "PinePhone", it would have to be marketed to be a distinctly different device, i.e. PinePhone with a 5G capable modem would have to be something like "PinePhone 5G". I do however wonder why this particular modem was chosen... Lots of frequency bands supported for maximum world-wide compatibility? Well-tested and stable? Well, we know the latter isn't the case since the modem is the source of the most of the PP's current woes. Maybe mainlined drivers? It's hard for me to tell, I haven't been around the PinePhone community long enough. Oh and the MMS issue? Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I gathered from the forum posts, the modem is receiving the MMS messages just fine, it's just the the texting applications that can't display them properly so that's purely a software issue.
