       @rain anyone wanna *pre-order* a $2k Librem 5.This is definitely not something that a company trying to fund existing preorders with new preorders would do....

       @Authoritimmy Yup how one of the first paragraphs say that you can just "upgrade" your current pre-order is a dead giveaway

       @rain I mean it sounds like not too many people are slated to get their phone until the "evergreen" cycle, which is where they are projecting this to release, so it's just "wanna give us another $1400 just because" so they can get their phone in "Q3 2020"

       @Authoritimmy Which I mean at the end of the day this is just a disappointment. I would love for this device to do well but it just keeps making wrong turns that just end up poisoning the well for others who would try to enter this space.

       @rain I agree. I was sold, mostly on this being the best shot at a usable Linux smartphone these days. I really hope that someone can do it better, but it just gets harder every time something like this happens

       @Authoritimmy @rain do you know about the pine phone? That one is shipping for real (currently the dev prototype, next the “brave heart” edition) and it’s $150.

       @Tryphon @Authoritimmy Yes, I ordered the #PinePhone Braveheart as soon as it went up. Expected to get it early January.
