Niche product, niche price, nice intentions, sure. But if they were going to go for a niche market, they really should have leaned into it.
Things like a headphone jack, removable battery, and not-gigantic display aren't unrealistic beauty standards. They were perfected over a decade ago and still relevant among sub-300 phones from small-time manufacturers.
Also, the modem is the big unauditable black-box component that should have been the subject of the hardware kill switch.

US networks might use different antennas/communication hardware.
