Finally received my #Purism #Librem5 but it's been so long I'd just like to sell it, any takers before I post on eBay? Unopened, $599

@kkremitzki but how long did it take to arrive?, I hope you're kidding right?

@kkremitzki what the are you talking about, come on, I don't know how you didn't get mad.

@pafurijaz I did, I eventually just had them send it to me since I was waiting for a refund so long but they had said the phone was ready at one point.

@kkremitzki that is unbelievable, I thought many time to make an order, but hell, no. After 1 week I need to be admitted.

@pafurijaz @kkremitzki It was a crowdfunded campaign to develop it. It did run late, but it doesn't take one week to design, develop and produce a device like this :P

@dos @kkremitzki one week? he made the order in the 2017 and just arrived yesterday after 6 year

@pafurijaz @kkremitzki Yes. Initially it was supposed to arrive after ~2 years, but first its development took longer than anticipated, and then the supply chain disruption made it impossible to produce at required scale until now.
Preorders from 2017 were ready in 2021 by the way, so it could have been shipped back then already had the shipping address been confirmed. Right now orders from 2021 and 2022 are being handled, and it's about a month away from catching up with all of them till today.

@dos @kkremitzki I hope things improve, but at the moment I'm not convinced also because a product that takes so long and I only have a month's warranty seems strange to me, I prefer to go to the store to choose the phone and go home.

Greetings

@pafurijaz @kkremitzki Huh? That's a different device from an unrelated company. Librem 5 has a 1 year warranty and there's even user support provided.

@dos I'm sorry I was wrong, I sincerely hope that things improve for everyone because now we are forced to use only two operating systems, I have considered buying a phone with KaiOS, but in the end even that seems unrealistic as a solution today.
Greetings
