FTA: "You can make phone calls, and you can receive text messages, but you can't start a new conversation with a contact."
Did the author actually make a phone call?
If so, what was the quality?
FTA : "There's no way to access the camera."
So no idea if the device actually will take a photo or video or know what the quality of those outputs will be.
Considering that an iPhone 11 Pro would cost $60 per month over 2 years, could some of us Patreon this project at like $30 a month and let them hire up enough to land this?
I have doubts that a sales model vs the incumbents is going to have enough runway. Given the quote from teddyh / whiteinge, maybe it's just better to do more upfront funding instead of expecting open projects to follow the same physics as venture capital.

There's been a lot of progress in a month. Source: I have a Burch phone, and made a phone call. I don't know if you realized this, but that's exactly what they did. They made a kickstarter on their website to finance making the phone. They released some of the hardware iterations to earlier backers, and made sure they understood that its a beta product now.
