Purism is next in line.
I really hope they succeed but the track record for these things is amazingly bad, the forces they are up against are not small.

- A2017U1 8y agoQuite a distinction between hardware and software development. Apart from commercial competitors, I'd imagine a few natsec types would probably try to rustle feathers, they certainly have past form in this field.
- bitL 8y agoWe need an open, PC-like phone standard? So far we have closed SoCs everywhere that end up as landfill every 1-2 years without any other possible use. With <5nm chips it should be trivial to have open SoCs in phone factors.
- evross 8y agoThe good thing is that Purism has a track record. They have been designing, manufacturing & shipping privacy focused, FOSS laptops for years now. A full FOSS/FOSH phone is new territory. They're still allowing pre-orders on their website if interested. I'm hopeful that it will be a good Linux phone when production is done in January.
