My next desktop PC is a SMARTPHONE?! Hands on review of the #Librem5 phone by @purism https://beta.lbry.tv/@TheLinuxGamer:f/i-got-my-hands-on-the-librem5-phone:2
As soon as few apps like BitWarden, ProtonMail, and Signal become available for the Librem 5, I'm ordering mine.
Not sure what encryption the email and chat/phone has with Librem 5 out of the box, or if the sofware for each is all open source? Encrypted so even Purism can't see it? Love to know just exactly how accessible data is for these native apps, where, if any data is stored, etc.?

@danielst @davidpgil @purism
So encryption is on par with ProtonMail, Signal, etc? No data mining and no data kept on any servers that Purism can access?
@PiratePatriot @davidpgil @purism
No simple answers to complex questions. By default, the only connection to Purism servers would be apt updates.
Which services you use is up to you. You can use librem.one, but no need to.
XMPP and matrix.org should work nicely, for others (Telegram,Signal,Threema,WhatsApp...) there are community efforts. Look up forums.puri.sm (also for ProtonMail)
No mail app yet, but likely Geary+GPG soon.
