i dunno, the coreboot-flashed mini pc theyre re-selling at a 250% markup from wholesale might make them liquid enough to actually get the evergreens out. people are buying them like hotcakes that people buy a lot of.

I knew this would be hogwash. I was wrong thinking it'd the software which would be forever crap. But seems like they have lots of problems with hardware too.

Too bad, but I do hope the orderers eventually get something for their investment.

Re: Purism Librem Phone
 

Must be tough times for the Purism folks. They did give me a refund a few months ago so I give them credit for that. While they have probably made significant progress with the software, the hardware will likely be lacking.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see that situation improving any time soon. Regardless, I'm rooting for them and wish them succes.

Re: Purism Librem Phone
 

People do?

Purism were doing well enough before they took on this smartphone project. But they're not a big company and they probably do not have any sort of financial cushioning, which became apparent during the Librem 5 desaster, because many decisions were clearly made to - how to put it - not go bankrupt, try to keep the money in, hoping it would work out in the end.
The problem is that they weren't being upfront about it, choosing a (probably expensive) marketing "strategy" instead, while the actual hard/software development remained pitiful (there's some pics & vids in this thread that well deserve this adjective, and articles that go into much detail).

Anybody get this phone in the mail yet? Apparently they are now shipping out. I backed out and got a refund. But would be interested in hearing about folk's experiences. Thanks!

Re: Purism Librem Phone
 

So, how many different phones you have ordered?
I'm a actually thinking of getting the Galaxy s21 ultra.
Big screen, probably best camera, and spen compatibility.

Re: Purism Librem Phone
 

Ordered the Purism phone way, way, way back in the before times. Actually forgot which year. Ordered the Pro 1 just before the Pro 1 X was announced, which I guess was the kiss of death for my order. Ordered a Pinephone last Summer and got in less than a month.

333 is really good in the majors!

Well, you are still doing, better than me. 0 for 1 with the Jolla tablet... Lol.
