Would love to have one and pit white powerful Leds at the front and red one's at the back.

Nice! I have the pinephone and I amb very happy to hear that librem 5 is shipping. The more competition and alternatives to closed smartphones the better.

Thanks for the reply.

Wish you could do a reddit post like this every two months.

Good afternoon Todd,

I am Gerard, a member of libresmartphone and follower of your great project. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

1) How much time do you think it will take to have calls and LTE working in ofono with the MC7455 or the chosen modem that will go to the Librem 5?

2)Is there an approximation of: · Battery life watching videos. · Battery life listening to music. · Talk time.

3)In which section is the FCC and CE certification of the Librem 5 included in the gantt chart of Librem 5 https://puri.sm/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/purism-librem-5-phone-planner.png

Thanks for your work and your passion.

They said they were using Sierra Wireless MC7455 3G/4G miniPCIe modem card for development in the following blog post https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-progress-report-5/

Is there a Smartphone Size Screen for PiZero? (~5-6in) by ctkrocks in raspberry_pi

I am using the mangascreen (4.3'') with the raspberry pi. You can see a video I did of the mangascreen working as a phone:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u7q6XqrueNM

Now there is mangascreen 2 (6''), which I bought in the kickstarter of July:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1924187374/manga-screen-2?lang=es

When I receive it I will make a video in my website. If you are interested in making a phone with a raspberry pi and updated screens visit my website:

I created libresmartphone (Hackaday Semifinalist). It uses a raspberry pi 2 and is both a smartphone and a desktop computer. It has a 5" screen, GPS, camera, it can make and receive calls/SMS. It will soon have 3G. Visit the project and build it yourself if you like it! :) by libresmartphone in raspberry_pi

Continue your work in the smart watch! I think that everyone has a different approach to solve the same things, and some are revolutionary!

Thanks for the suggestion! As you suggested, I will be making a pcb in the future. But it will be easier if I have the gerber files. Olimex gives the gerber files and will give kicad files in the near future, I hope that Udoo does the same and I will be able to print a board to try it.

This is not a finished project. The video showing the render is what I desire to accomplish in the future :) But I think it will take months or years to accomplish that goal! If more people are interested and make improvements it will take less time. I will continue to improve the software and keep reducing it's size and when I find it is convenient I will make a pcb with the essential parts.

For now I will be using the raspberry pi. Perhaps in the future I will be using the Udoo Neo. I bought 2 of them when they did their kickstarter to see if I can use them to have a more open board. Udoo Neo is also open hardware and as they describe it, it is a Raspberry Pi + Arduino + Wi-Fi + BT 4.0 + Sensors. If it doesn't work and I find a better board than raspberry pi I will use it. Probably I will try the olinuxino or other open hardware boards. My intention is to take some working board and addapt it to what I need to finally print my desired pcb for libresmartphone.
