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.
At that kind of pricing even a scalped RPi starts to look somewhat reasonable
Have they at least fixed the issues with the software or are you still buying a promise that it might work sometime in the future?
This is a tragedy.
They honestly think that phone is worth more than a fucking foldable?
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)
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.

With a model name Liberty, I’m not going to guess too hard the demographic they’re trying to fleece.
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?
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.

I’d love to use Linux on my smartphone, but unfortunately it isn’t viable yet and I’ll keep using Android instead :/
I don’t see anyone addressing what should be the main concern: purism as a long history of internal toxicity and screws up. There were problem and their CTO left a long time ago, since then everything went downhill. Their communication is also one of the worse I’ve seen. They don’t mind lying, it feels borderline scam sometimes.
Whatever the price and the alleged goal I would not get behind a shady organization.
Nothing is perfect but Purism has been way passed the limits for me a long time ago.
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.
