Here are my two cents...
* Put the camera and GPS (if included) on a removable daughter board. Ship it with the board but people can remove it if they are wanting a device with stronger privacy, or if they are in an environment that does not allow cameras. Include a spare back case without the camera hole, should be minimal cost. This approach makes the device more flexible. Maybe alternate daughter boards could be developed to handle other needs if demand is there.
* Retain the same form factor as the PinePhone, with pogo pins in the same place. That way all work on accessories like external keyboards can be shared with the PinePhone.
* Make sure common docks work out of the box and you have a winner.
