Small note for the
"I want to run vanilla Linux on my phone" crowd of this thread :
https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/
Purism is trying to crowdfund a smartphone that they design from the ground up (their own PCB) based around Freescale (i.MX 6 for now, maybe i.MX 8 if it gets similar support by then) - according to them the opensource drivers present in the upstream linux kernel and upstream Gallium3D all support the i.MX 6 very nicely.
Maybe one day, when chen decides to make a successor of this project, that could be an architecture for a full custom and linux friendly PCB ?

This is the look when the slider is closed.

That's bad!
I can't decide if black or silver is more beautiful. Maybe I have to take both colors.

The device looks very nice in the renderings.
However I do have some concern on the mechanicals; I have had E7 before, and have on one occasion had the privilige to hold @eekkelund's N950 in my hands and in both of those there is the same difficulty.
The slider mechanism is fairly difficult to open even with 2 hands, and pretty much impossible to do with one hand, even when you have dry and warm hands.
With cold/sweaty/greasy hands it gets even more difficult.
I have almost dropped those while trying to push open the cover to get to the keyboard!
Now it may be that I am just a mämmikoura and not nimble enough to handle such techniques but I hope this will be both easy to open and firmly closed when required.

My GF had (actually, has, because it's still there in the drawer...) a E7, too. And she really loved it... She even asked me just a few weeks ago, if it was possible to install SFOS/Android on it so she could use this old device
The keyboard was extremely snappy and easy to open (at least with two handy, why would I open it with one?). I think the trick was, you had to push the upper part "down" into your hands, not just "up" like on the N900 - and then the slide mechanism just snapped up and revealed the keyboard...

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:28.
My big concerns are about the time of release and how well/quickly can jolla adapt SFOS for it. Unfortunately, my trust for them has decreased. You have my support
My name was Maemo, then it became Meego and now I'm getting a third one. I am Sailfish.
