I personally do not need 3G. Wifi only is fine for me.

Looking really nice! What frequencies would 3G use? Most likely I would just tether off phone which has LTE. What processor are you using. My biggest complaint about my Jolla (taobao) tablet is that it is painfully slow. Any improvement there? Thanks for all your work!

I can't put all those 4 bands on one modem as the old PCB does not support.
Processor is the same as Jolla Tab. I think in terms of power it should be enough, it's the SW optimisation that needed...

On one side, if this is increasing only marginally end price, then why not.
But then, if this is creating much more trouble for you in terms of handling different versions, plus some certification hassles (selling a product without certification is probably very risky and certification is costly and takes time), not counting on more testing, drivers, etc... I think this is maybe better to concentrate on wifi only?

3G would be great. But only if it worked on T-Mobile in the U.S.

A quick feedback will be appreciated:
See the first attached picture -
As Explit asked before, there is actually a possibility of adding cellular network, but 3G instead of LTE.
(Also LTE involves too many bands across different regions, but 3G is more unified.)
On the open connectors on the right hand side of the picture, we can put a 3G modem on it. And another slot will be made next to the micro SD slot. See the second attached pic.
The question is: Is that of your interest to have a 3G cellular function with a reasonable (small) cost? Or you prefer WiFi only?
Also worth note that due to the limitation of this old PCBA, we can only use a dual 3G band modem, therefore I can't make a universal 3G model, will be 1 model for NA and LATAM, and other model for RoW.
Please give us your feedback, as we are close to launch the product...
P.S: Anyone notice the memory chip on the first pic? It's KLMDGAGEAC-B001 and it's 128GB
I vote for a 3G model specially since that was a one of the fake stretch goal by jolla.
But that just my option. GL!
Edit:
would it be possible to have this flag on the back I would pay extra for the red one

Regarding certificates, all the devices will be certified. It's a one-off cost and shouldn't be an issue. (There is also software modification needed)
Therefore I want to know the demand of 3G - if it's worth the work.
