IMHO if we spend cost to get WWAN on this Intel device, why not spending a little bit more to build a Qualcomm SoC version? i.e The new PCBA. Modem is built in into SoC and can improve specs either.

Also as mentioned above, with LTE builtin we need too many SKUs, at lease two, for NA and EU. Moreover certification and RF testing will be a lot more complicated, which also costs......
I agree with your original stated intention of doing this release because the Jolla tab hardware is near identical and still available. I suspect people who are requesting hardware changes have skipped over or ignored that part.

All the LTE wish list stuff seems appropriate to scope for a different project. That bucket of worms will probably delay things significantly. You made it very clear this was not a wish-list release from the start, which is very sensible for a first-time release.
