PinePhone is available for order and is shipping asap https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-braveheart-limited-edition-linux-smartphone-for-early-adaptor

How great is it that there's competition in this space, with Purism and Pine both kicking ass and getting linux phones out there shortly.

    Nice man, that's quite a takedown. Damn I'm gonna go cry in a corner now too... he's got some good videos on privacy and his heart seems to be in the right place. I was thinking he could adopt me or be my grandpa or something.

    Accurate for iOS, but not for Android, especially rooted. The reason I like this phone is that it is modular, with an easy to replace battery, SD card, and radios, and is open enough that it's easy to port other operating systems to it, and keep support of it for long periods of time. It also runs Wayland/Linux by default, meaning that it's easier to use desktop Linux apps in it than it is on Android. Best of all, it will be open hardware, which I strongly support, and is finally a phone that is just about as powerful as my existing OnePlus One, but with better features, meaning that it is actually an sidegrade in terms if specs rather than a downgrade, finally.
