Another person on Reddit also received their Librem 5: https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments..._heres_my/.

Todd Weaver (emphasis mine) Wrote:Right now the Librem 5 has the essential, core functionality we have been focused on completing to give it a good foundation for the rest (Calls, SMS, Web, Email etc). Along the way we’ve been able to get some extra features added that will start to show up soon like plug-and-play convergence."[H]as essential, core functionality"? Sound familiar?
(RIP @Also, plug-and-play convergence "will start to show up soon"? They're shipping the product, and one of the main selling points is still not implemented? What on earth have they been doing for the past 2+ years? I thought they were delaying shipping Evergreen until the software was ready! Had I backed the Librem 5 and deferred my pre-order to the Evergreen batch, waiting years and getting essentially the same functionality as the Pinephone, I'd be very disappointed.
Either way, I wanted this thread to be here for someone who has both the PP and L5 to chime in and give some comparisons: how is the modem (mis)behaving, call and text quality and reliability; how are the killswitches, can you turn them off and back on without having to restart the phone to restore functionality etc.
