Price of Pinephone is going to increase by $100?

WOW, that's a weird thing... I didn't expect that!

the website was very clear with the Braveheart and UBPorts editions that the Pinephone was offered at the price point it was for tinkering minded enthusiasts to help them beta test the hardware. a higher retail price is perfectly in line with their stated intentions. there used to be a giant red blurb on the order page about how the software is pre-alpha, and the phone is offered so cheap to encourage people to do testing.

Well, the message is still there (see attached image); anyway, it's still a great price, hopefully it can become stable enough to be used as a proper phone before the price increase
