The article doesn't bring anything new to the table (when you ignore all the wanking over how godly their CTO is...) besides a picture of the PCB.
Maybe the video is actually better (can't watch, I'm on the job) ?

Ed. Nevermind, was running program in background that (inadvertently) blocks videos in browsers by grabbing audio system. The new stuff in the talk seems to be about the specific hardware challenges. I don't think I can get through the whole 45 minutes in one sitting.

I am not a professional HW engineer but work alot with sofware engineer near the HW at a company that makes cellular stuff. And one thing is sure: cellular PCI(or .m2) modules makes alot of heat.
And that start make me wonder how do they get rid of all the heat? If I look at the image they also has some chips directly under the PCI slots............
Now... I want to see the PCB and schematic kicad's ASAP instead of this marketing hyping about open schematics... Since Q3 is almost done.
I am sure linux gamer will discuss this comming podcast and again without any critics.

One can hope they release the kicads sonish on http://source.puri.sm...

Weren't they having heating issues from the start as well. So you assertions might be correct.

Some more progress. Starting, to get there. As long as it doesn't overheat but how is that problem solved? Reduce clockspeed?

Release dates: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-shipping-announcement/
Now that sounds somewhat realistic WRT the hardware: The finalised Librem1 hardware is planned to be delivered in batch "Evergreen" (Q2/2020).
For the software stack, making a release similar to SailfishOS 1.0 at the same time (Q2/2020) still sounds like "best case planning" to me, but appears to be definitely feasible sometime in 2020, given the current state of the software stack.

Can anyone help explain?

Anyways, the first batches are Sepember and they have several additional batches till Q2 2020.
But I have the impression that they massively underestimated the task of creating and maintaining a completely new GNU/Linux based software stack for a smartphone.
Hopefully Purism will survive this endeavour.
OTOH, just to provide the hardware and FLOSS boot-firmware (usually Coreboot with a specific "payload" for boot device discovery and loading an OS kernel), as Raptor Computing Systems and PC engines do, is currently not well feasible for a smartphone: A common boot-loader mechanism is usually missing.
