its a bit of hurtful truth bArray there. We did already pull back a bit on most of our SW promises and packed them inside a "beta-mode" as we realised after testing a personal driver phone is no experimenting ground. This post just beat us before we finished relaunching our website with a simpler communication strategy and a def. a better website.

I can say from personal experience that it's never easier to hear either. Starting with good intentions is not the same as delivering a good product.

Out of interest, how far along is this project now in respect to hardware and software? Is it ready to ship once you have enough orders?

Don't get me wrong, your SW looks awesome. Actually, I would really love a version of this phone I could run Linux (proper Linux, not Android) on.

That's unfortunate. You should "relaunch" your PR push and get across some kind of "we listened" to cheaply get yourself back into public eye on good terms.


Thanks for your honesty. I do hope your project succeeds and the root turns out how you planned, I just have some doubt. It's been tried before. Keep working at it :)
