Yes, that's the point I was trying to make ;-)

The chassis and mechanism affect the RF behaviour of the device; the antennas need to be designed against that, it is different when one has an unibody model.
Quite likely. See below as well.

Well, you cannot just ask Motorola to hand over their schematics for PCB - Motorola is neither open-source nor encouraging competitors [bad for business, you know]. So it will have to be designed and re-designed and tested and prototyped. The experience in previously designing RF behaviour for Moto Mod may give a head start, though.

Going by how speedily they promise to deliver this device, they might have a huge team - and a lot of money invested into this, as well. It's about the only explanation coming into my head, for them to be not asking for pre-orders?

And yes, a lot of interesting potential devices coming soon. Neo900, DragonBox Pyra, Saygus V2, Fx, Librem 5... I am a fan of hardware keyboard though, personally. It's a pity that vertical sliders, with T9 keyboard, are not in development.

Thank you. Best wishes.
