  > 2GB RAM I certainly hope they follow up with a model with higher specs. I'm also not a fan of 2:1 displays which are for consumer scrollers (Instagram etc) and not general use enabled by having a real OS.

  > It’ll have four hardware kill switches for the BT/WiFi, modem, cameras, and microphone. They’ll be hidden under the back cover to keep you from toggling them accidentally. Looks like they're very serious about security/privacy.

    This is a great idea - though having it under the cover means it's difficult to toggle and therefore people will keep cameras and mic's on all the time.

  the camera is bad but the rest is not bad especially for the price but as they say also for the environment which is/will be the main draw plus the price range. i am actually more interested in this at this price range; i'm not big on putting down a lot on a smart phone.
