I think the initial goal of Purism should be to make a working device with WiFi and GSM drivers and a minimal software layer on top. Even a command line tools for things like making a call, or sending an SMS would be enough for the initial release. Let then a small group of enthusiastic early adopters experiment with different UIs on top. It is not possible for a small organization to release a product that will compete with iOS or Android from the start. I think Firefox OS and Ubuntu Phone could have failed because they had too ambitious initial goals and targeted too wide group with they early devices.
