[PLUG] Pine Phone

[jeffv via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

(dev)pre-orders are open today for the PinePhone Pro. Delivery Dec.
$399    https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/

Hardware privacy dip switches for the cameras, the microphone, WiFi & 
BT, headphone jack (enabling UART) and the LTE modem (including GPS)

meets the necessary thermal and battery-consumption envelopes. The 
result of this cooperation is the RK3399S – a RK3399 variant made 
specifically for the PinePhone Pro


They made a good point... if you use proprietary apps, like banking, 
DRM, games, this is not for you. Maybe existing phone for proprietary, 
Pine for main.

I loved the idea of the original, but wanted more horsepower. They claim 
it will be equal to the Pinebook Pro, which is a useless comparison. 
Comparing it to the original phone would mean something....
