@mntmn The L5 looks compelling enough and Purism appears to be very committed to openly developing the Linux phone ecosystem.
Admittedly the price is high but, the product is not subsidized (by selling user data) and similarly it isn't sold at a loss because they are planning to make a profit though associated app sales. My feeling is that the price is fair.
TLDR; I preordered one a couple of years ago and I have no regrets.
