I'm really excited about this. I'm not wealthy enough to preorder but I would love to have this as my next phone.
I wish Librem would let us vote on the features of the phone we wanted. I think they'd have more of a chance of success if they worked towards things that were most important to users instead of their assumptions.
For example, i've been saying it for years, but I would buy a phone with nothing but an e-ink touch screen in an instant. The only thing it wouldn't be suited for is movies, and phones aren't really suited for that anyways.

If you polled 1000 people for their ideal phone, you'd probably end up with 800 different models needed to satisfy them all. If you went with a majority wins voting system, most would be unhappy with the results. Design by committee rarely ends well.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoAn e-ink display isn't a very good example of a feature they're overlooking without a democratic process. I use an e-reader every day and I'd say half my friends and family don't even understand why you'd want to read on one -- they just read on their phones/tablets.
- ngngngng 8y agoThis is very true. I have family members that just read on their phones while sitting on the beach, and when I explain to them why my kindle is better suited for the task they don't seem to understand why. "I just invert the colors and it makes it just like that." They say.
