Someone really needs to make a decent modular smartphone with a detachable radio.
- ilikepi 7y agoIt's not quite what you're asking for, but Apple does still sell the iPod Touch, and they recently revved it. One could pair that with a mobile hotspot with a power button...
- inflatableDodo 7y agoI have been considering a battery powered raspberry pi with a usb hotspot and a virtual phone number.
- jolmg 7y agoI guess it makes sense to detach the radio if you're not using your phone to receive calls...
- askvictor 7y agoPull out the SIM card? I guess once eSIMs catch on, this won't be an option.
- meruru 7y agoThe Librem 5 has a kill switch for the radio: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/
- inflatableDodo 7y agoOooh, a Debian derivative smartphone. I been wanting one of these to reappear in the wild ever since having a play with a Nokia N900.
- jakeogh 7y agoDoes the radio have DMA?
- jakeogh 7y agonope! awesome.
- marmaduke 7y agoDo you mean the part where you can pull the Sim card out of the phone and reinsert it when you need to make a call?
