That is very sad news. I would like to thank you and the team members for your efforts all this time, despite the difficult community moments and multiple barriers encountered along this rocky road. The endeavor was huge and it was great to have something like that to look forward to. Of course, hope has been decreasing over the years and the wait was sometimes bitter, but there was still trust on my side and I am grateful that people like you committed to tackle the issue of full privacy on mobile phones, with keyboard/resistive screen/stylus. That surely deserves a lot of respect for even trying, considering all he costs that it implied.

In any case, I hope the damage is restricted to the loss of the down payments of those who invested in the project, but your last sentence leaves some concern. I hope you managed to deal with the burn-out. Except time, sweat and hope, which is not nothing, did you invest and lose more than what the down payments covered (I mean, capital)?

Regarding the stall, are there any other funding opportunities? If PIA considered funding the project for some time, maybe others would, never know. What will happen to the sourced N900s if no alternate funding options exist, or if it is now deemed unreasonable to continue anyway?
