Looking for Advice to Share
I have a legally blind client I work with to help them learn devices to help them live a normal every day life. This client lives in a highrise and has recently put a doorbell camera on their door. They don't see well enough to use the peephole in the door so this allows them to see who is at their door when someone knocks or rings the doorbell. It also has a package delivery camera on it. From what I have been told. The landlord has given them an N5 to remove the camera, citing complaints by neighbors, because it faces into the hallway, and is on the exterior of their unit door. Before receiving the N5, they did inform the landlord that they installed the doorbell camera for safety reasons (very bad area of Toronto) and that it was considered a human right accessibility accommodation since the landlord would not provide any other means or suggestions for the person to have the same access to viewing who is at their door as other tenants do. They are also unable to use the laundry card loading machine as well, which I have loaded some funds on the card for the person. I only have a few more visits with the client but I wanted to see if there was some sort of advice I could give them. They have no family or anyone else to help them.
Thanks in advance, Redditers!

Shipping to Canada...
I posted in the code thread but the one posted for any sort of discount had already been used to its maximum. These are not available through GameStop/EB Games Canada unfortunately. The cost of shipping to Ontario, Canada just makes this unfortunately, a pass for me. Hopefully in the future, there will be some sales to offset that insane shipping costs so I can get one with a couple of controllers. Partnering with a Canadian retailer would also be nice so I could literally just go buy one in a store.

Bootup Animation Sound
If there is any one thing that has annoyed me with the Android 17 betas so far. It's the addition of the, Hello, Moto", startup sound with the boot animation. It's not only loud, it's annoying and completely unnecessary! So much so, I'm almost tempted to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it! Motorola, fire the person who thought this was a good idea and remove the startup sound with the next beta update, please, and don't add this annoyance to my RAZR Ultra either!

Motorola Signature 2027: GrapheneOS Edition
I am not saying there will be a GrapheneOS version. This post is more or less, just suggestions for Motorola with the next Signature device as an owner of the Signature 2026 and RAZR Ultra 2025.
We need a version of this phone that comes with GrapheneOS either out of the box or gives us the option to choose it as the OS to install on the initial setup of the device. I am comfortable installing it the old fashion way but I'm also thinking of users that are not.
Motorola devices need mmWave antennas! The device has the radio but for some reason, Motorola is either too cheap or just can't be bothered to implement this into their devices. Countries like the Republic of Korea, United States, others have mmWave, and Canada within the next year or two. It would help your devices be more competitive in those and other markets where mmWave is available to have mmWave antennas and bands available.
The Signature 2027 needs to be sold in North America officially! This is such a superb device, that I had to have it when it launched and imported one from India. My girlfriend loved the device so much, I imported a second a couple of weeks later. If Motorola was to bring this device to North America for $750-$800 USD, it will sell! I literally paid $800USD for my 16GB/1TB Martini Olive and $775USD for the 16GB/1TB black for the girlfriend and that included shipping, all import fees, etc. Solid value for the specs, especially in today's dumpster of an economy.
What would all of you Signature 2026 owners like to see in the next Motorola Signature?
