Made in China vs Made in USA. PinePhone specs on table are old. They're currently 3GB RAM and 32GB eMMC at 200 USD for package including hub.

PinePhone (Pro) or Librem 5 > run a desktop Linux distribution (or Windows for that matter) that supports mobile features (calling, SMS, and data)? The above use ARM SoCs. Palm-sized x86 with cell modem? Doubt it.

When I said "own", I meant more in the sense of personally administering. It's like how you own a domain, but you're really renting it from a registrar. Rented hardware and VPSs count, as well as other servers/hosts
