Actually, both is true and there's little flexibility on that side :/

Well, I'd say there will be plenty of connectors. The LCD (even on the
compal/motorola phones) is just attached to I2C (plus the backlight
pwm). And the keypad is just the matrix.
We _may_ actually be able to put the circular "button" footprint for
something like the C123 keypad on the back side of the PCB, as so far
this is "only" a ground plane. Depends a bit on the effort, and
where/how somebody could source those thin membrane keyboards.
Regards,
Harald
