Re: librem-5-smartphone-final-specs-announced

@joao.azevedo, while updating that, could you clarify some of the wording please?

  • Smartcard: Reader with 2FF card slot (SIM card size)
    —> Mini-SIM card size!
  • nanoSIM tray for cellular
    —> nanoSIM tray (4FF) for single SIM card
  • Option 1: Gemalto PLS8 3G/4G modem w/ single sim on replaceable M.2 card
    Option 2: Broadmobi BM818 (made in China)
    —> Baseband on replaceable M.2 card:
    Option 1: Gemalto PLS8 3G/4G modem w/ single sim on replaceable M.2 card
    (2 Variants: Europe, US)
    Option 2: Broadmobi BM818 (made in China)
    (4 variants: Europe, US, ???, ???)

That’s how I understand it at least. The current wording indicates that for Option 1 there is a SIM slot on the replaceable M.2 card, and for option 2 both are not the case, so that’s very misleading for everybody not following all the forums discussions.
Also, I think it can currently be misinterpreted to say that the SIM and smartcard have the same size.
