PinePhone

@PINE64 When will the premiere take place and will it be possible to buy a pinephone in poland?
-
@Josele13 The design is locked down now as prototypes are being made; we made the decision to only have one sim slot early on in the design process (basically, the intent is to keep things simple) and this will not change. Regarding the adapter - I simply do not know, but will try to find out for you (I'll edit this post).
@Eryk-Michalak Witaj, the PinePhone will ship world-wide (with some exceptions, but Poland is not one of them). As for when it will be available; early adopter batches will ship in Q4 this year.

@Josele13 In response to your question about the dual sim adapter: it will definitely work, but I don't think it does what you expect. Dual sim adapters like this allow you to connect two SIM cards to your card slot. The phone doesn't actually work with both cards simultaneously. Instead one SIM is operating at a given time while the other is unusable. You can alternate the two by turning the phone off and then back on. Not a great improvement compared to carrying the second SIM in your wallet and changing it when necessary. It's basically only a convenient storage place for the second SIM. Not to mention the adapter is pretty big and I doubt it would fit in most phones.

@PINE64 In the renders, "camera" is printed on the front camera. This is just the renders, right? It will not say that on the actual phone?

@B2288 Thank you for clarifying how this SIM adapter works, I've seen it advertised on websites, when I choose a mobile is priority two Sim cards, me being all day with two phones, is very tired
greetings...

@B2288 Make nothing of it. There may be text, the PINE64 logo, or nothing at all there - think we'll run a poll and ask people for ideas / opinions.

Ameridroid kind-of stole our thunder for the upcoming Community update. Oh well

Interesting news. Sounds like it's going well. I'll be in for one of the early adopter models.
-
I want this running LuneOS, but I'd be happy with anything FOSS-based. I'm in for the first one they'll let me buy!
-
It might be like hungry dogs around a bowl of food to get one of the first phones !!
-
I want one of the early adopters batch as well! Just take my money now!
-
@PINE64 Please, at the appropriate time, could you explain the complete procedure for acquiring or reserving the Pinphone with the links to your site in question : creating an account for a new customer... Thank you.
-
@domubpkm It will likely be something similar to what we did today for the pinebook pro (minus all the mistakes and associated mess): https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7725

@PINE64 I'm going to wait for a Pinebook on general release, but I think you might get a rush of preorders from this forum for the Pinephone
Once again Thank you for your time and effort in keeping this thread well informed and upto date. It is very much appreciated and good to see. -
@PINE64 Thank you for your answer. I was right to ask the question! Your system can't be guessed! So, to make short, to be one of the first to be served, we have first to be registered on the pine 64 forum now? Isn't it ??
-
@domubpkm possibly. Its actually a good system (the issues today were caused by a super bizarre bug we honestly couldn't predict or even replicate in testing), but perhaps its not right for the PinePhone? After all, there are so many other communities involved, other than ours (PINE64), in the PinePhone project.
In the case of the PinePhone it will be even more important that proper enthusiast get their hands on the device first. I may have to reach out to the relevant parties - the different projects - closer to the date so we can think of something collectively.
-
@Lakotaubp our pleasure
-
@PINE64 thank you for your clarification made

Hey everyone, a lot of PineTab news (probably relevant to some) as well as some PinePhone news. We expect a lot of PinePhone news next month as outlined in the post: https://www.pine64.org/2019/08/05/august-update-london-meetup-pinetab-news-soedge-and-more/
