In the end I had to call to my friend if he can buy it with his credit card and I transfer money to his account. He found the product and it was still under 600eur. But to buy he had to make indiegogo account. He made but there came no option to change email address to mine so that I would receive shipment info. So log out and log in with my account. He did. But the price had rose again with 35eur. But after some hassling I finally got it purchased (contribution order). After he had paid he went back to the page and said oops. There was still the cheaper perk available but he just missed it before. So I supported the campaign with extra 35eur.

And my only reason to buy this phone was to be able to run linux programs on it. That is why I ordered it with LineageOs which sounded in my ears like a linux os. Well done Maemish!

Oh, you should have went with UBPorts then?
Lineage is "just" the degoogelified Android with root access out of the box.
the main intention is to have control over most aspects in android and a community that adapts this ideas on every new android release.

UBPorts afaiu is kind of Ubuntu Linux on mobile.

I backed the UBPorts version, just because i am curious what it feels like. Never bothered to try as of yet tbh. But it might fit the Proč even better then sfos for desktop use.

Let's see how easy it is to change the order.

That, i almost guarantee is a non issue since the spirit of the device is centred around that idea.
Choosing the preinstall flavour is only for convenience!

And imo the key untapped selling point and market test. Lineage has "street cred" and many casual users know about it and want it. But are not able or hesitant to flash for themselves.
They are the first phone company with Lineage out of the box now.

Thank you for backing and going through all the CC trouble. Selfish thought, but your contribution made ProČ more likely

I wonder how they're able to deliver Ubuntu touch when ubports don't mention the device anywhere on their site.

And different keyboard layout options (even qwerty is different, not shifted a row to the right from standard like OG Pro1).

And yes, blue!

After a long day of work, which I finally launch a project ... I come here to see that Maemish has almost lost his mind, credit card, wife and good friend ... haha. But happy ending prevails! Good on you man.

Just got the email that my PinePhone is starting the shipment process.
