There must be a glitch in the matrix, because I'm getting some serious deja vu from that whole Turing campaign.
Very skeptical about this, but if more than one company manages to ship a viable open and privacy focused smartphone using the same chipset, it can only be good for everyone else using that chipset. Could be really positive!

Too good? Really? NXP i.MX6 CPU. Cortex A9, you know, the one which was kinda slow in the N9 already.
Not yet a high end iMx8 nor a heavy CPU that can be found in Android's latest, but should still be better than the old time of N9.

Waiting eagerly for locusf to present the project details.

Sorry people, not much to comment on but that I have worked on RCM and in NecunoS for a period of time.

There is an old tweet containing the name of necunoscom that he retweeted so could really be from him.
That would also explain why the people who retweeted the 2 tweets from the account of necuno are from the Nemo community.
At least we have now an idea of who is being it, so may not be as big a trap as other were. We'll see what they propose in the future, but it looks like with a CPU that old that they only target people like on this forum, which so far lead to projects in small quantity with small team, so high price regarding performances and big delays. But would be glad to be wrong !

I noticed the tweet, and also found that locusf was involved.
So, I am interrested, most for the reasons that its open source, both in hardware, and software. And that a community member is involved - may I add, for me, a highly respected member. And I will absolutely join, wether high, middle or low- end hardware specs.
Will be interresting with a price-tag, that, for me, might slow down how fast I can make a purchase.

hardly.......... since there is nothing to compare but a few buzz words
Anyway, IMO, what the world need is a commercially successful 3rd OS first and then we can dream from that onwards. Otherwise we will always end up with useless device that no day to day service will support.

I'm not asking for the latest greatest, but a 64 bit cpu with some A72 cores, or otherwise web browsing will simply be slow.
On the OS-front they've said next to nothing. What if they present something like Tizen, with "HTML5 apps"-dreck? (On those Cortex A9 cores
Last but not least: "read the blog", but no RSS/Atom feed anywhere.
Meh. While I don't wear a tinfoil hat, I think I am part of their target audience. Still, I'm unconvinced at best.
