We've emailed all Librem 5 backers with the batch they are most likely to be in https://puri.sm/posts/what-librem-5-batch-am-i-in/ #Purism #Librem5
@purism I can't wait for the mail to arrive 😉
@purism I'm waiting to see videos with a working device in hand from people who bought it
@purism That box looks pretty cool, speaking as an enthusiast of cool boxes, I encourage you to make your packaging as awesome as possible, people notice that these days thanks to the popularity of "unboxing" reviews.
My thinkpad X1c came in an awesome box, the thing actually moved like a popup book. People notice :)
long term boxes are awesome also, ones designed with nice interiors, and perhaps functional decorative items like a cloth for the screen etc.
mooi spul voor wie het budget nog heeft.
In ieder geval vele malen beter dan alle andere toestellen in dezelfde prijs klasse.
@bifilarcoil @purism lekker in het nederlands ook :p
Het lijkt er op dat er in de aankomende jaren al een aantal op Gnu/Linux gebaseerde telefoons uit gaan komen. Je hebt verder nog die van necunos, de pinephone, en van de week hoorde ik van een nieuwe die Ubuntu touch zal gaan draaien.
:D Huillands..

Begint een beetje intressanter te worden met meerdere spelers
Lijkt me mooi als er voor purism een OS keuze komt
EmbeddedDebian (Embian?)
@bifilarcoil Blijkbaar was er nog deze, maar ik zie het punt niet zo van dit ding: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/volla/volla-phone-freedom-through-simplicity-and-security. Die springt er nergens echt in uit, en het feit dat hij op android loop zitten denk ik niet veel mensen op te wachten, volgens mij hebben we daar al een paar van..
"Evergreen" Batch - Starts March 31st" I hope my crummy old iphone will keep working till my librem arrives
@netnut404 @purism ordered on 2017-09-15 and when responding to the batch email asked for Aspen, Birch, Chestnut. Getting an "Evergreen" response is disappointing. Hope to actually get a phone eventually...
@purism are you sure, I haven’t received an email?
@purism wish i never asked
@purism what if I have not received an email yet?
@drewmoore @purism I think plan was always a moulded case. The early ones were probably aluminium because of the ease of going from CAD design to CNC milled aluminium in low quantity and with high precision. Changes could be made easily because they're individually manufactured. Plastic injection moulds are expensive and would not allow an easy change in design like milled aluminium. The current price is in line with a smart phone with a plastic moulded case. I'm OK with that.
I could be dead wrong. Maybe they are planning on a metal case for the mass production version.
@purism wish i never asked, Talk about about being disappointed, receive an email asking what batch i would like to be in and thought i would play it safe picked Chestnut and now received 2nd email confirming evergreen 😡 wankers!
@purism im starting to think this should be a case for UK trading standards??
@purism Perhaps people have forgotten, original launch date was pushed back 3 times then an email asking what batch you would like to be in? What was the point, they knew how many backers (even though i pre-ordered which is different in contractual law) what dates they were placed, so stop with the bullshit and just send the final email instead of raising expectations!
@purism This would be nice to know. Looking forward to that mail.
And we have exciting Birch updates coming soon!
