It's called grasping at straws!

Not every manufacturer has the incentives to make a good n900 replacement, so when something comes up that MAY have potential we hope and lust over it.

Show me another project that has the possible specs that this project will including keyboard fully open source and I will be the first to jump on it. However all we have right now it this first attempt at a keyboard phone with close drivers, the Librem 5, and that dev phone Necuno that cost over 1000k.

Even a fully open project see you (and others) getting frustrated by it, "After a few month with librem kit I actually have lost interests a bit."

My point is we are all (most likely) frustration and not happy about the android bits, but if it was cheap or non risky many other would have done it by now. However the choice for open phones are small, the choices for open phones with keyboard are even smaller.

With projects like fx, gemini, librem5, pyra phone, even sailfish. They need these in between version to work before they can get enough capital to potentially make one for a tiny niche market segment. Look how long sailfish has been struggling.

I'm just saying I'm waiting till it come out to see if it fits my open and freedom needs vs a device that tics most of the n900 boxes ... that we've seen since the n950.

I really hope the librem5 is successful, since it may mean more open choice in the future. And they will share everything they've learned eventually

Somehow that turn out longer that I expected .

Cheer! I hope they get the dev kit stuff worked out soon. I appreciate that your around developing app for these platforms. Your time and dedication is what keep these device useful.
