An Interesting, Upcoming Phone


Behold the 2019(?) Librem 5:
From the developer's site:

  • Does not run Google Android
  • Does not run Apple iOS
  • Runs PureOS by default, can run most GNU+Linux distros
  • Security focused by design
  • Privacy protection by default
  • Works with 2G/3G/3G, GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks
  • CPU separate from Baseband
  • Hardware kill switches for camera, microphone, WiFI/Bluetooth, and Baseband
I think that I just decided to nurse along this aging iPhone for a year or so longer to see how the initial release of this phone works out.  The company seems to have blasted through their pre-orders to be funded at 150%, so it's looking like I'm not the only one interested.
