Why does the Librem 5 phone cost that much?
Sidenote: I got my Librem 5 in the mail yesterday! Below is a video of unboxing.<p><a href="https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/55eece8c-2d6c-4da3-8c8c-895217d66e2a" rel="nofollow">https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/55eece8c-2d6c-4da3-8c8c-...</a><p>This prototype version is definitely not ready for mass market due to (1) known overheating issue (so far I've observed it get quite warm sometimes, but not uncomfortably hot), (2) a bunch little software things to work on. But it's really exciting to be able to `ls` and `cd` and `ssh` on a phone, and know that the software updates are coming.<p>Purism's accomplishment already is pretty incredible on both a hardware and software level. For me, well worth the price. Congrats to them even if there is a ways to go yet.
