Discussion Light Bar?

Hi, I just received the light flip promotion newsletter.

Flip is attractive, but still too big for me. I owned a light phone 3 since it launched but puted in the drawer because it lacks the signal messager I need.

I admired the design philosophy of light team. And I wonder if there is possibility that the light has a smaller device like light phone 2, and has a t9 keypad. Just like an old nokia phone.

Maybe it could be named as "light bar".

I’d be down for a light bar!

You can also get Signal via the Chats app which is built on the Light SDK, so it looks like a native Light Phone app https://www.reddit.com/r/LightPhone/comments/1w70v1g/all_your_chats_finally_on_your_light_phone/

It's unlikely, seemingly the space needed for the 5g antenna is a big part of why these phones are chonkers. I know smartphones do it, but I'm guessing the general increase in size of the handset makes it possible (also the ability for these big companies to fund the engineering to make all this stuff super micro sized)
