Lets create the PineCom
#30
I'm not really seeing what you want to make here:

If you want to make a device the same size as the pinephone with a hardware keyboard on the front you can keep backpack compatibility. Also it should still be made as easy as possible to use an already existing motherboard (e.g. an old braveheart board) to upgrade it with a builtin modem and vice versa, the new stripped down motherboard should be usable in already existing pinephones that don't need a modem. This way the least resources would go to waste.

If you want to make a lighter pinephone like device with it's own expansion modules making it smaller and dropping backpacks would of course be worth it, but if you do that, releasing a pinephone backpack, that accepts the same expansion modules is a must.

Anyway:
camera: only on the back
sensors: I'm the wrong person to ask here
wireless: "As long as it works"
gps: yes with killswitch

Aesthetically I really like the pinephone, minimal branding, clean and color neutral, I wish more brands would go that route.

But before throwing out yet another device, please consider that you *really should* also support the older ones by providing add-ons and backpacks (Don't starve your already running projects)
