Thanks to all the brave souls testing and (importantly!) providing feedback! The more I keep reading this thread, the more confidence I gain about maybe giving it a try.
The mere fact we can boot from either internal eMMC or sd card (while leaving the former untouched) is such an awesome advantage over Android for instance. I think a lot is said about the "deficiencies" of GNU/Linux phones, but not enough about these sort of advantages. Personally, even though it's still "early days", I find myself very often "tickled to death" (very happy) with certain aspects of this phone.
