Sorry, data too. I figured that's a given. So, more specifically, Linux with a touchscreen, wi-fi and cell data/call/text. Anything else is unnecessary to get me to buy one. And it doesn't have to replace my existing phone right away.
There's a trend of people opting for feature phones instead of iPhone/Android. That is what I'm going for next if something like Librem doesn't make it out soon. Now is the time to just get something out, while people are weary of the whole corporate-controlled smartphone thing, because, if that trend fades, no one outside of the Linux community is buying a Linux phone, no matter what it comes with. Just get it out, no gimmicks, not even a camera (one less thing to secure), sell it at a premium price and let the community figure out where to go from there.
- jay_kyburz 8y agoYes, but this thing is $700. A feature phone is $50. The Librem 5 needs to be something special.
- kungtotte 8y agoBeing free and open is something special... This is more about providing freedom in an otherwise totally un-free market instead of competing with the latest iPhone.
