Or is it too much to ask to get a #smol #smartphone that has:

  • 3,5mm TRRS jack (CTIA prefered, but NATO standard is also okay!)
  • #microSD slot (cuz convenient - ideally the internal storage was also on a microSD and fully replaceable. I don't expect socketed RAM tho.
  • real #DualSIM ( #eSIM is not a valid substitute for a 2nd #SIM slot! If an OEM want they can just include 1-2 #eSIMcard|s thst are progammable with #nLPA / #MiniLPA in addition to two fully-functional SIM slots…)
  • #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries (ideally just industry-standard cells like 18650 or 21700 #LiFePO4 - potentially even 2 for #HotSwapping!)

Yes I know it'll look like an #Iridium 9555 or #IridiumExtreme (PTT), but I care about #functionality and #Repairability ...

Just found out my image is going to be included in the 4th Natural Landscape Photography Awards book! That means that while my image didn't win, it did make it into the top 1% of images!

This is the image submitted. The #NLPA awards focus on natural and true to life editing - so, aside from the b+w conversion this image is as if you were there with me. No AI, no Photoshop.

Looking forward to seeing this printed in person 😍
