You might be already aware, but the guys from the signal messenger are providing proxies for people to set up that work in Iran.

If you need help or more info let me know, happy to help.

Hi Mark and thanks for doing this.

1) Can you talk about the licences that will be used for this project and how open they will be? Are we gonna see binary blobs or can we expect the firmware to be released as open source? I think this is a really important question for a lot of people.

2) Are you trying to make sure that production is as fair as possible? I think the success of the fairphone is a good indicator that this is an important "feature" for people.

3) What architecture will be used?

4) What about VAT when importing to a country in the EU. Do I have to pay that on top or is it already included?

5) I'd really like to see an IR sender in this device. There are still so many devices in peoples homes and I want my mobile to replace the various remote controls that are laying around the house.

6) Just to make sure, the edge will be able to do 2G and 3G as well, right? LTE coverage will still be scarce next year.

Thanks for doing this, I really hope this will become a success, we need more competition in the market and this could show the industry what is important to a lot of people.

Take care.

As far as I understood, the phone will support MHL which gives out 5V and hopefully has enough power to power the phone when used as a "desktop"
