It is not really a phone - it is more like a Wifi connected device which makes all calls over VOIP. There is no GSM connection and therefore no SIM etc. I like the project but calling this a phone is inaccurate.

If a GSM module is also included, this would be a lovely device to have. Also, would be nice to have a much larger screen.

Agreed, other nice things to have:

* A multi-touch screen

* Dedicated app store

* AI voice controlled personal assistant

* Face ID to unlock the phone

* 48MP front facing and back facing cameras capable of 4K video

* Maybe have a fruit as a logo on the back of the phone
