As someone who placed their order recently, I am totally fine with that if it opens up the possibility of people who ordered late to get their hands on one sooner. I don't mind having to tweak component alignment and update via the terminal (and maybe update keycaps?).
I think people who are afraid of effectively being beta testers are going to have a tough time with a full-on linux phone whether they get one now or after another year of development.
- bhhaskin 7y agoI am perfectly fine tweaking software, but getting an unfinished hardware build is pretty hard to swallow for the price. This isn't a dev build either, it is supposed to be the final end product. To me it sounds like they are trying to release an unfinished product so they don't miss their ship date again. I would much rather have the ship date pushed out and get the finalize hardware.

- jethro_tell 7y agoThis sounds like beta testers is too generous. It looks to me like the finished phone next year will be beta testers by any reasonable measure.
