The Purism Liberty Phone is priced starting at $1,999, it will not have a chance at succeeding at that ridiculous price.
@nanook Agreed. The CEO said it on a recent @404mediaco podcast, that it costs around $650 to make (vs ~$500 for the L5), so they selling it at such a high margin might be harming their product reputation. Most people are getting their lower memory/storage #Librem5 instead of getting this more decent-spec version.
Knowing what the cost of RAM is, I can't see how you can justify $1999 for that tiny amount of RAM. It really seems scammy to me. I like the idea but not the implication. I think jail breaking an android and then replacing it's OS is a more practical path.
@purism subway surfers Honestly, I really like what Purism is trying to do with privacy-focused hardware, but I have to agree with others here — $1999 feels way out of reach for most people. If they could bring the price closer to what the Librem 5 was (even with slightly lower margins), I think more folks would actually give it a try. Right now it just feels like a niche product only a few can afford, which kind of defeats the point of spreading privacy-respecting devices.

This isn't a Ad for EU People any more right? It's more an Anti Ad 🤷🏻♂️
