I agree. Pretty skimpy there. Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't hear much till around late third quarter.

At least one speaker . . . someone is either very intentionally or seriously cluelessly funny. But funny nonetheless. Like the guy who programs "Radio, Radio" on the grocery store Muzak that you're forced to listen to.

But I'm certainly glad to see these updates posted here, though. I pre-ordered the dang thing and can't get on the mailing list for love or money

Based on the information received so far, I'm afraid this device will not be in our hands this year.

This has been this for long now and it IS Q3 now and if they still has not decided what camera and how much memory? Now if this is real the PCB 0- serie should already be done and tested and all components needed should be at puri.sm.

Why I say this? Well there is probably 2-3 months(or even more) lead time of many of the components. So this make me think something is smoking big time. I do not expect any phone this year. I am not trolling or being negative but I think if they are continue saying it will start ship Q3 they have to show much more HW progress

They only give news about software and it is just pointless if there is no real HW at least tell a tru estimation of shipment instead of nothing. I am not even sure the problem with heat really are fixed they told us month ago there was a kernel fix for the bug in HW but STILL my devkit is hot as freak and eating battery probably ~5-10watt constantly. Now lets hope the iMX8 errata is fixed on next rev of the chip at leats...

Anyway I noticed that a first proto kernel config has finally landed in kernel the but it does not tell anything of interest so far.

Yes, it is hard to believe it will come out Q3 or Q4. Especially if you don't know how many speakers it will have among other things. Although I vote for 4 speakers to approximate surround sound!

Btw. I told Purism they should mirror those utube clips on https://beta.lbry.tv/ lets hope they listen. Linux folks for example Lunduke is already putting videos there.

Heck, since it hasn't been ironed out yet, let's go full 7.1 surround.

We're not gonna get this phone this year, are we?
