Led projector !!! -
For those who want to hang out and have a look at the current devkit and chat about the roadmap for the phone. We'll also take a look at whatever devs send over to me.
I'll also be looking at the Pinebook Pro, as that is the other major device announced at this year's FOSDEM, and we'll probably have a casual chat about other PINE64 community related things too.
-
@PINE64 awesome. Will it be possible to watch the video after the fact? And would you take upfront questions here, like: What's the status of the webcam? And, when will you take our money for it
-
I have literally 0 experience with streaming on youtube, but I was under the impression that the video is automagically uploaded after the livestream ends (?). I'll check in with Dalton prior to going live just in case you need to click a setting or something.
And you're welcome to ask anything and any place. I assume that you're asking about the CUBE IP camera? - for that perhaps the PINE64 forum would be a more appropriate place to ask or, if the community on here does not mind, perhaps a different thread on this forum. I think that we should stick to questions re. the phone on here

@PINE64 hi, thank you for planning that streaming. At what UTC time it will be exactly?
-
That youtube link should give you local time. 22:00 GMT .
-
@PINE64 thank you!

-
@PINE64 great!!..thanks.

Since it looks like everyone is doing livestreams .... here is a livestream of the pinephone livestreaming itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhSIRC02gj8
-
Unfortunately I missed the livestream today. Will you be uploading it separately?
-
@trainailleur you didn't miss anything because it wasn't broadcast, the live stream was rescheduled but there's no new date yet.

Thanks. Haven't had a chance to catch up with Telegram since Saturday so behind on the news.

Based on updates from tllim on IRC, I've added updates to the OP on headphone jack location (now on bottom of phone), the case back (fingernail peelable), and the battery (there might be a higher capacity batter which still uses the J7 form).
-
@trainailleur ... and we may figure out an expansion port + wireless charging / NFC; but no promises.
-
I do find wireless charging particularly useful, @PINE64 -
NFC is a big security threat.
Wireless charging is possibly carcinogenic. -
@Jackl Both technologies are useful. You certainly right in either case, but as i think we will have the choice to activate or not for each, is it a real/full threat ? I don't know.
-
@Jackl Please do not spread FUD here. Unless there is technical evidence that can be quantified, a general statement is never right.

After following this thread for a while I must say I'm very interested in the PinePhone. Not having a removable battery is a dealbreaker for me so the Librem 5, despite how good it looks, is not an option. I also like how the plan it to reuse an existing battery.
I'm also very pleased to see that the anti-feature of a fingerprint sensor has been omitted. If it is on the table for a PinePhone 2 I'd like to request the ability to physically remove it from the device (and possibly cover up the hole with a supplied piece of plastic).
I have one quick question though; will it be possible to disconnect (and maybe even remove) the front camera? I don't consider it an essential feature to do so, but for me that camera is just dead weight.
Thank you so much for developing this phone!
