              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.

                            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!

                                    @Djhg2000 The dev kit has hardware switches for both front and back cameras, and we expect these features to make it into the final end-user product too. As for physically removing the front-facing camera from the case and PCB, I cannot tell you if its going to be easy or possible at all, since we're some 2 months away from an early prototype phone PCB.

                                    @Jackl again, we do not know if these features will make their way into the end-user units. Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything. We're just exploring possibilities. Regardless, these features - if implemented - will be possible to be disabled / removed / not added, etc.,

                                      I think wireless charging doesn't amount to much more than a copper coil, @PINE64

                                        Qi (wireless) charging is a little more complex than that.

                                          Updated the OP with a pair of recent changes to the wiki:

                                          • Wifi now shown as "b/g/n" instead of "a/b/g/n."
                                          • 5 year availability (I think this was mentioned somewhere early on, but for some reason I had not listed it here.)

                                          Also noted that UT does not currently support VoLTE (as discussed in the VoLTE thread) though the PinePhone hardware should.
