- Tough as a Motorola two way radio

- Easy to remove battery and yet still waterproof like the Motorola two way radios.

- Multiple size battery options. Extra-mega-big option for extended month long trail excursions.

- Physical waterproof qwerty keyboard with enough space between keys for big fingers.

- Ability to run Arm Linux without requiring any added kernel modules. Full approval of all code by Linus T.

- No bloatware, no spyware, physical buttons to disable camera, microphone, Bluetooth, Wifi, LTE. JTAG debugging fully disabled and USB hardened against physical and code attacks. 2G disabled by default.

- High impact rated to withstand being dropped from the top of an air traffic control tower, driven over by a cement truck, shot by a 45-70.

- Meshnet modules

Probably not very realistic but I can dream.

I threw in the ATC since I've dropped a radio from an air traffic control tower. The battery popped off and the case was scuffed up but I was able to put the battery back on and the radio still worked great.

Even if Linus does not approve it I want to be on the email thread.
