No, not officially.
But the link [1] I posted in my last post points to a TMO thread where dr_frost_dk announced, he wants to create hw keyboards for several smartphones that originally don't have one. He also asked for device suggestions, I suggested the Librem 5 and he agreed.

I haven't had much contact with him in the past, but I perceive him as a man of his word who is able to asses his own abilities. So if he says he wants to create a Librem 5 hw keyboard, I believe that he would honestly try and that it's reasonable to assume he will succeed.

What happened to it that resulted in it neither seeming to make any progress nor being cancelled?
I'd be fine with either of those options as long as there's info on that, but by now frankly I'd expect that info to be placed prominently on the product's page.
I found this reply to someone on twitter in reference to the 11

Purism‏ @Puri_sm
Replying to @daniel_wtd
It was put on hold so that we can focus on making the Librem 5 successful. We haven't given up on it, but our priority is the LIbrem 5.

@mrsellout:
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of info I would have expected to see on the product page:

Was just wondering. Anyone have experience with Purism's other products like Librem 13 or 15?

After a few month with librem kit I actually have lost interests a bit.

* Still no display working (some got it work on fosdem with help of purism by OTP flash the display. :/ Sending it back to puri.sm for flash display driver is no go for me cause of the costs Damn crap display manufactor.

* CPU heat issues still not solved. Damn Freescale

I had plan to port my small old SFOS apps to plasma mobile but without screen it is totally uninteresting. Kind of a shame they still don't got the screen working :/

I post this here mostly because I doubt we will see any phone released in Q2. I personally expect Q3-Q4 as first. So don't have to much hope yet... They have MUCH to get stuff working... They display issue is probably solved by OTP the display and I guess thats why it is not so high prio for them also cause there is plenty of other things to solve.

However I still have hope on the company since there are no alternatives shown so far.

No not much except a colegue at my work has it and is happy with it.

I probably would by the version 4 if I needed a laptop today especially since it is fully open source drivers+BIOS and so on.

However I hope they can release a open RISCV5 laptop in the future that would be epic.

Here is quite nice summary from Purism CEO Todd Weaver interview.

Interesting stuff about current HW and SW status.

Display seems to be fixed.
