My review of the Librem 5 after using it for 4.5 months, published to my Gemini capsule.

@leetaur An interesting read. I appreciate that you neither slipped into fanboyism (ie "It's FREEDOM, therefore it doesn't matter if the phone doesn't work!") nor mainstream doomerism (ie "It doesn't run my iPhone apps, so it's a failure.")

Made me want a #Librem5, although I'm really not ready to pay what even second hand ones seem to be going for...

@Blort @leetaur set up a saved search on eBay. I picked mine up within a month at a great price. Just like new in the box. Haven't quite moved to it as daily driver yet, but think I will after crimson drops.

@Blort @dperson Crimson is the next major version of the operating system, currently in development. The current version is Byzantium.
