Happy to see lots of progress in this update. Each month I'm saving towards purchasing the Librem 5 after I hear confirmation that it works on T-Mobile networks in the US.
- dx87 8y agoSame, my current Nexus phone is pretty busted up and literally held together with scotch tape, I'm just hoping the Librem 5 releases before I have to buy a new phone.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoI'm sitting in the same boat, but for Verizon. This blog post actually comes with some hope, with the specific statement that the SIM7100E is supported. Verizon has already approved another SimCom chip, the 7500V: https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/design-and-build/approved-modules/module/6073 https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/design-and-build... One could hope that the code used to support the former could be adapted to support the latter. And as long as the Librem 5 is able to support an already-approved Verizon module, it shouldn't be a problem to activate the phone on Verizon.
- dmos62 8y agoThis struck a chord with me, since I find the price a bit high as well. My consumer thinking is that if it's expensive enough that I'd have to save for it, and there's no important reason to buy it over something cheaper, it's a waste of money. Of course, thinking this way, I don't end up having the hip new stuff; is it about that?
