I would love a Linux phone but so far graphene OS is the way.

This is just ridiculous. $2200 for a phone with only 4GB Ram.
This is a tragedy.
What’s not to like about a device sporting a 5 year old CPU paired with a 720p display and 4GB of RAM costing 2.2k usd?
All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility, and the entire phone is assembled at that same facility.
I suppose that this is the reason for the high price. It’s built all in one single factory in the US (I was too lazy to research if it’s their factory). I hope that their target groups are real and that they can afford the phone.
That is a lie. They are not fabbing their own SOC or any of the camera modules.
Also the SOC in this thing is ancient. Purism seems to be cashing in on the paranoid and gullible.

One of my harder earned life lessons is it’s structurally impossible to run a company that develops and sells a product based on this kind of soft values and buying devices from them is almost always a recipe for disappointment. It doesn’t even have to be the fault of the company (though it often is)
I’d love to use Linux on my smartphone, but unfortunately it isn’t viable yet and I’ll keep using Android instead :/
Shows you how much we have been taking china for granted 😂 Shit is very expensive when made in the US of A.
I’m not sure why anyone would buy a Linux phone from Purism these days. Buying one from Pine64 seems like a better option in every way.

Wtf is that phone, 2,2k is in no way justified.
They honestly think that phone is worth more than a fucking foldable?
I like what Librem is trying to do, but their way of doing it is completely impractical. No phone is worth $2199. The PinePhone is a much better option, it’s basically trying to do the same thing but it comes in at a practical price.
Lmao. At this point buy any android phone and just put a custom ROM on it.
I think the appeal was supposed to be all drivers are open source. where as even with custom roms, you still have proprietary firmware blobs that must be updated by the manufacturer to prevent any exploits
For $1,800 I will personally install a custom ROM on your phone.
