Looks like they are going to officially postpone the release date "slightly" (their words) in a big hardware update blog post tomorrow.
The detailed blog post : https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-2018-09-hardware-report/
TLDR; :
* Dev kit : October 2018
* Phone : April 2019 ("Why April? We want to be realistic with our projection")
The blog post is well detailed, explaining work done, challenges seen, reasoning for their choices.

Too many unrelated things to make a summary. Mostly software work done on the various parts of the stack.

Yes I get what you mean, theoretically.
บาคาร่า
My usage is just about EVERYTHING except games and social media, and I get along fine. Well scratch out the videos too, I don't do that either.
But everything else works just fine like it has been for years.

Pretty exciting. Havn't been this interested in a phone since the N950. About 6 months to go!

While the goals of the projects were noble and quite ambitious - it should have been an open source smartphone, not a feature phone! - some bad hardware decisions and mistakes (GLAMO!#$?!, slow CPU, slow RAM, modem issues) and generally unstable software that doomed the project in the end. Still, it undoubtedly started (directly and indirectly) many project we are using now, so it was not all waste. On the other hand, the FreeRunner user experience was never really even feature phone like...
