Adding to my prior comment above: If I was trying to build a 3rd Ecosystem, this webpage is, even though better than the announcement, still pretty bad.
The top half part is quite good. It's not presenting itself as modern or slick, but as privacy and freedom and transparency. It's a good angle, because hardware is not this phone's strength.
The bottom half is where things go off the rails. "One Powerful GPU?" Don't gaslight me - anyone who has played a game on a smartphone looks at that and goes oof. HTML5 apps because you don't have real apps? Blegh - especially because it says in the description "we plan to." The "competitive chart"? A huge mistake because it gives the competition absolutely no points - which makes it look obviously biased and completely lacking credibility. What other company makes "competitive charts" that don't acknowledge, at least somewhat, the good points about the competition?
And then there's the availability part which is just really bad. 52 weeks? There will be two OnePlus phones, a new iPhone model, and a new Samsung model by the time that thing supposedly ships. Also, if you are really concerned about your privacy - you can't wait a year being no more private than before!

This is for the audience that cares about it. > HTML5 apps because you don't have real apps? But they do have real apps. Thousands of desktop Linux apps. > Also, if you are really concerned about your privacy - you can't wait a year being no more private than before! If you're in a hurry, consider this: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa. Agree concerning the "competitive chart". Still it looks funny IMHO.
