How is this better than sailfish os?

>>62096563

Who needs access to big amount of software

Enjoy no usable software. Why won't i get nokia 3310 and do more?

>While Librem 5 is still in its very early stages, Purism already has a price for it: the company expects to sell them for $599
I'm poor. Will EFF give me money to buy this phone?

$1,500,000 for a fucking FREE software
Fuck off idiots I'd stay with my brilliant Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global

Freedom is important

>>62096658
FOSS is enough

>>62096658
Yes that's why I was wondering if EFF will help me pay for the phone or do only rich people have the right to freedom?

>>62096353
can you even control the radio

>>62096692
Yes
>>62096679
No, being able to install a distro you like and getting updates forever is a big deal
>>62096683
I don't know, but the price isn't so high. remember you won't have to change this phone soon, you'll get the updates for the linux distro.

Gee you sure can't do this on android already or replicant if you want to be a freeturd.

Just go for a 15 year old UMPC if you want to be a flake.

>>62096754
You won't have to flash the OS in Librem phone

Or maybe if you want to get a phone with support for more than 10 years

if i remember these purism guys pitched a libre laptop with all these promises of it being completely open etc.... when it shipped it was pricey and came with alot more firmware blobs than promised... and they just shrugged and said we did our best

thats exactly what is going to happen here...

we reverse engineer 2g baseband but now its depreciated... by the time we get around to opening up 3g baseband we will be on 5g...

black boxes are black... who woulda thunk

>>62098074
This.
/thread

I just got a flip phone. Keep it off with battery out when not in use. Problem solved.

>phone
>can't actually be used to call people if you don't have internet on it 24/7

Great idea

so this is the power of paying hiroshinoot to spam /g/ with these threads

>>62096353
I ordered one, because I have more money than sense and support the idea. It'll be very similar to my Novena though - same chip.

>>62096353
Why would I want to run distros infested with systemd?

>>62099617

thoughts on owning a novena ? what version did you get ?

luv bunny i just couldnt pony up re specs

>Hardware Kill Switches for Camera, Microphone, WiFi/Bluetooth, and Baseband

Oh boy, why I'm poor? I would totally buy one.

>>62096911
Yeah right, they mention the i.mx8 to lead buyers on, but are actually planning and developing to ship it with i.mx6 which is a9. Fucking disgusting.

>>62096353
Yes, and no.
I want a smartphone with a similar goal, but I'm not willing to crowdfund librem now just to wait a couple of years for the hardware.

How the fuck did they manage to find a radio that let them run their own firmware?

>>62097245
>management engine'd SoC
source? How can they call it open source/free software if this is true?

A 32GB iPhone goes for +600 American dollars, so I don't know why you're bitching. Or did you not realize that $500, while expensive, is not entirely unexpected for a flagship phone?

Let me guess, you bought your phone on a payment plan, and didn't even realize what the cumulative cost of that phone was, did you, Tyrone? I suppose I'm asking for a lot expecting a typical American to do simple maths.

>>62097141
Right, because I'm better off getting ass-fucked by OEM's and their ``enhanced" respins of Android, on top of five-year-old kernel and delayed security patches.

>>62096353
Why would I use anything with GNU or Linux? They're shit.

>>62096353
>https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/
Yes I do.

>>62096353

Ow yes. I'm afraid it will be very expensive, though.

>>62096609
If you run, for example, Debian you'll have a metric fuckton of installable packages.

This is your problem you think the librem 5 is a flagship, and not just a memed out low end device.

Hey it's another low end device with a huge autism tax.
