I have to be missing it, but I don't see how it is an open-source smart phone? The closest I see is “We created Necuno Mobile with enterprise customers in mind first, but as open-source operating system enthusiasts we also wanted to provide this platform to the free and open-source communities, and we hope this drives growth and interest towards them. Lets secure the freedom of mobile together”. That to me says they are providing the platform (i.e. hardware) to be open sourced, but the actual device software is not.
In addition, I don't see anything else about it. Seeing "With the completely verifiable software designed security first, isolated chips, end-to-end-encryption and wiretap proofed, NE_1 is suitable for extreme security use cases." Makes me extremely skeptical. How is it wiretap proofed? How does it use end-to-end encryption? What chips are being used?

I'm not sure how it interfaces with the POTS or ensures encryption in calls aside from using separate communication protocols. I saw it has ethernet as well so you can avoid wifi as well and run a thick cable to your phone ?
