Hi Mychaela,

Thank you for this update, and of course thank you for your continuing
work on making the goal of a fully open-source cellphone a reality!

My personal preference goes to approach 1, the creation of a handset.
Right now I have more use of a phone that does voice calls/texts than
a modem (although I agree a modem might be useful too!)  For me the
least useful option seems to be approach 2 (an SMT module). However
it may be of use to others in the hacking community who are building
things that require IP connectivity and/or texts.

I realize that approach 1 is the most exensive, however if I may suggest 
a good part of the plastic shell could be made with 3D printing/laser
cutting instead of the more traditional and expensive approach of a cast.

Of course this is really just my opinion - I'm sure Mychaela would be
interested to know what others who are subscribed to this mailing list
think about the proposed approaches!

All the best,

--DS
