I pre-ordered the librem5 back in 2017.... I've kind of abandoned that ship.... They're definitely not as open as you but I'm still waiting for the phone. I'm just not getting my hopes up (I picked the Q2 2020 batch).
I am, however, checking here almost daily so I can give you guys my money. I want a pinetab, phone, and watch.
Hey,
About being open: I see no other way for PINE64. In a sense this is more of a typical open-source project than a 'company', and most of it is community ran. To this end, there is no traditional divide between the device vendor and the community. You want to write for the blog or even edit the front page? - ping me. Want to edit the wiki - you can do so already ... any part or it too, just use the forum creds. Want to see something in the next products we announce? - you can talk to me and TL any day of the week (pretty much) in the chats. Doesn't take much to convince us to do X or Y if its sound. The PinePhone is a prime example of this - it was built from the ground up with devs and community input.
As for the Librem5: Looks like they have a very interesting device on their hands. I wholeheartedly hope they'll succeed in achieving their goals with - the more Linux phones on the market the better for everyone. There is place for both devices ... and many more to come I hope.
