The product was never really attractive by itself. You had to be extremely patient and willing to overlook the serious problems with their software to even try to use it. I would like to see some other company take a real swing at this product space but with a less strict approach around the hardcore open-everything ideals. They’re good in theory, but in practice people want a phone that works and you have to get to that stage first. |

That... kind of was what happened. Purism released the Librem 5, and people were shocked they pushed so hard to get the FSF's "Respects Your Freedom" certification.
The Pinephone (and Pro) used a less Free modem, resulting in much lower power draw, but the UX was still, well... Alpha-quality is putting it gently
