Lets create the PineCom
#5
I'll be honest, I'd much rather see a new backplate for the existing PinePhone than an entirely new device. A little backpack that adds LoRa/WAN to my PinePhone would probably be a lot cheaper, and it'd make a lot more sense for me to buy than yet another device, especially one so specialized that I'd have to carry separate to my phone. It'd also make the design much easier: No need to worry about displays, other wireless connectivity, or anything else; just focus on propane LoRa and LoRa accessories.

If y'all decide to go that route, I'd also like to see a hardware off switch, and it'd be delightful if whatever LoRa module y'all used was reprogrammable from the PinePhone itself. A separate battery for the radio would also be great, to offset the power cost (both in terms of power draw and battery life) of the additional hardware, but I have absolutely no idea if that'd be technically feasible.

It'd also be nice to have something to plug an antenna into. I'm not sure if there are any good, shielded, standardized connectors that are small enough, but something to let me connect to an existing LoRa antenna setup so I can use a better comms setup than whatever's built in would be nice.
