@unfa call me skeptical ...
@unfa
Interesting insights , especially in part 2 https://jaylittle.com/post/view/2019/10/the-sad-saga-of-purism-and-the-librem-5-part-1
I also noticed this last time , when watching the video, the device was never really used. Just taken apart and reassembled.
@unfa
Still very skeptical ... mostly, while not very conclusive, this confirms some suspicions about still unsolved issues/challenges. And that they deal actually with a Chinese OEM/ODM instead of this being their own design. This in itself concludes a lot for me. I know how those operate. I do not expect to see any shipment in a year.
So why they claim they already do? Confused.
@unfa
Give them the benefit of the doubt so far. But this device doesn't work yet .. that I am sure about
@unfa The baseband firmware is having deep pockets or rewriting the baseband OS. Osmocom does part of this. But I am amazed that the screen question is still unanswered, as here in China thye would tell you immediately. Go cheap and just offer the screen. (re)glueing is easy! They still sound too much like a Cali startup. Glad they offer 'killswitches', but so many questions remain. Many I have seen failed ... let's hope one stays afloat and succeeds. ;-)
