Are we expected to order the phone without knowing its features/specs...? I can't find them.

I confirm. The website is quite confusing, I am trying to understand but what the specs are but it seems to be impossible.

I found them: https://puri.sm/faq/#faq-Whatarethephonespecs https://puri.sm/faq/#faq-Whatarethephonespecs Edit: argh, I think their lazy-loading breaks the anchor link browsing position. I will just paste the contents here: Development is still ongoing, so most of the specs are not finalized yet. What is certain at this moment is: CPU: NXP® i.MX 8M Quad or NXP® i.MX 8M Quad Mini GPU: Vivante GC7000Lite RAM: 3 GB minimum (subject to change) Screen: 720×1440 high-DPI 5.7″ (glossy) WLAN: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n Bluetooth: Yes GPS: Yes NFC: No (subject to change) FM Radio: No Card slot: microSD Loudspeaker: Yes 3.5mm jack: Yes SIM cards: One Camera: Front and back Replaceable Battery: Yes (with tools) Smart Card Reader: Yes (OpenPGP-compatible) Everything else is To Be Determined. This applies to: dimensions, weight, supported modem frequencies, internal storage capacity, maximum SD card capacity, camera specs, other screen specs, battery life, SAR values, etc.

  >supported modem frequencies They should really try to figure this out before selling the product. If I, as a European, buy it and it doesn't support the standard European frequencies, then I've already had a bad experience. Whilst it's great they're pushing the whole privacy aspect, they need to understand that viability in different markets is the next important aspect to landing sales. I won't pre-order a phone that I can't be certain that I can use...

  Anyone know what the purpose of a "Smart Card Reader" is on a phone like this? I hadn't heard of OpenPGP smart cards before, are they similar to the PGP subset of functionality on Yubikeys?

    > are they similar to the PGP subset of functionality on Yubikeys? Yes. I understand it as providing something akin to the "secure enclave" on the iPhone.

  All that TBD and subject to change doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that they will be able to make their April 2019 shipping deadline.
