[Request] Use a universal LTE modem in the second Jolla handset

One of the serious limitations of the first Jolla handset is a broadband modem which doesn't work in many networks. Using such limited modems requires one to produce different versions of the same device in order to enable usage in different regions with incompatible frequencies.

Recent LTE modems however support practically all networks with one chip. Example:

  • http://www.intel.com/newsroom/kits/mobileworld/2014/pdfs/7260_factsheet.pdf
  • http://ark.intel.com/products/66648/Intel-XMM-7260

Using such modem will eliminate fragmented devices requirement and would not leave users of many regions like North America behind, like it happened with the first device.

To clarify, this is not about official support of all of these networks (this includes approvals, extending logistics and so on). This is simply about enabling functionality (for example for unsupported scenarios).
