Hardware: Removable battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, micro SD card reader, no front camera, USB-C
Software: A Nostr client to easily sync to your relay, LN wallet to easily sync to personal LND, Orange Pilled App & ZBD & THNDR games, and other fun bitcoiner apps.
Would still love a phone to have headphones to this day.
I would 100% love to see a wallet app that works with the security hardware too like a keystore. I heard another "web3" shitcoin had a phone like that but I've also never saw it get proven either.

The phones made by Sony have a headphone jack if it's what you want.

LOL you want a privacy phone without a front camera but you want to install ZBD wallet that REQUIRE google services and KYC...

It's not like the phone is even going to happen any time soon, it was just a fun thing to post about what I would like to see in a phone tailored towards bitcoiners. And it doesn't have to have all those features/apps either. Just throwing out some ideas.

Purism has a phone with the same hardware kill switches as their laptops, the Librem 5.
The issue is that it's not that good unless you value both privacy and a FOSS stack more than everything else. The SOC is not that good, the battery from what I remember is pretty bad too, and it uses Linux, and mobile Linux is still pretty underwhelming. Also people who preordered years ago are still waiting to receive theirs
