   and we are live!! you can back the MNT Pocket Reform (open hardware 7" mini laptop) campaign now: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform

     By the looks of it, you are atleast physically compatible with @purism 's BM-818 modem. If so, it would be really interesting to install the mobile stack and be able to use the Pocket Reform as a full on phone replacement.

     (Also a backer now!)

     @mntmn If you could add information on import customs to Canada (if any) it would be appreciated to help judge the final sticker price. Thanks!

     @tommythorn well spotted! we tried purpz in a prototype, but they are too light IMHO... you very easily mistype with them. red pro are better in that regard, still light.

     @amatecha @purpleidea hmm, normally mouser should pre-clear those things, but you could ask them here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/contact/other

     i can also ask about this internally.

     @ploum about the switches:
     - the clicky ones are more fun, but can be annoying for others
     - the linear ones are also very good, and quiet. but not that much fun :D
