> The phone he always wanted is a phone that basically doesn’t work at all?
I feel like it is intellectually dishonest to characterize the phone mainly as "not working" and question his decision on that basis. That's not the reason that he wants it. It's the prospect of helping build and eventually having a FOSS phone ecosystem that is the main draw.
> I also yearn for a FOSS/Linux phone, and it feels like we’re getting closer
Guess why. Is it because a) some driven developers buy this product long before it is generally useful to develop the software necessary to support a full-fledged FOSS phone, or b) because people like you are patiently waiting for that software to drop in your lap?
