As a non-contributor but a big fan who's just watching the list and
waiting for something to flash on his 139:
- One of the most important factors for me is that the phone should not
stand out. I've had enough inconveniences in my life because of
suspiciously looking DIY devices.
- My dumbphone needs to be sturdy.
- I absolutely adore the idea of custom, 100% libre hardware, with all
the artificial limitations removed (like the loudspeaker problem).
- Perhaps later on it would be possible to release v2 of the board (by
you or somebody who forks the design) which would fit in a standard
phone case, neo900-style.
