This phone is really what Librem 5 wants to be. It even got more RAM than my laptop.

Also,

Smart move. With Android support, if user ended up hating Linux, they can still have a fallback option to at least have a "normal" phone (from the aspects of UX usability, battery life and other software optimizations).

EDIT: Oops, reading perihelions's comment, maybe the information on the page maybe subject to change. Guess I should keep in my happy for now.

It should be noted that the crowdfunding campaign doesn't even exist (yet), and even if it did, I highly doubt their ability to deliver - especially a device with 32GB RAM. Even Canonical promised a similarly high-end phone back in the day and got people all excited for nothing.

I'd think twice before investing in this potential scam/vapourware.

Huh, a surprising-looking gadget with literally zero web presence.

Another source says that this public release announcement was accidental,

- "(a developer on the project says it’s an early version that wasn’t really meant to be widely promoted yet (sorry about that)."
