It should be able to support swapping with other modems and wifi/bluetooth cards more easily. Maybe come with a fast world modem out of the box. Also maybe improved modular design for repairability (maybe not as extreme as Fairphone but moving in that direction).

Hi Carlos,
Do you mind if I ask what you mean by “Fancy Metal?”

In the sense of the best metal to drain heat no matter the price.

Silver has the highest thermal conductivity. Copper is pretty close to silver, and is more commonly used in heatsinks. However, silver is very soft, and copper tarnishes easily when exposed to air, so they require frequent maintenance.

How about gold plating?

Gold is also very soft and it is the most malleable metal, so it needs to be an alloy, otherwise gold plating will chip away very quickly with minimal effort.

Oh, I assumed he meant the liquid metal used in the Terminator franchise. No?
They may be being used as antennae i.e. not possible without additional redesign.

Why not? 
That could definitely help with dings and dents! Plus, you know, you could turn it into a sharp knife or sump’in.
Librem-T1000 for the win!

One idea I would like in Fir would be an M.2 2280 NVMe drive slot like many other Librem products. Ignoring the engineering efforts required to do so, it would be a healthy conversation piece about smartphones and computers in general.

This thread is just for wishful thinking, right? I may as well ask for laser etched autographs of the Purism team behind the Librem 5’s plastic back cover, along with a handwritten aftersales letter from @todd-weaver thanking me for supporting the free software movement.
