I salute the early adopters who will suffer all the inconveniences of startups so the wider public can enjoy a non-corporate phone in the future. o7

I'm looking forward to get one of these just to play around with it, and maybe making some custom stuff for it.

I'm looking forward to actually seeing how my fucking works and what it's doing.

I think only you can answer that one, friend

As soon as my current phone is paid off I am going to get this. No more fucking Spyware up the ass.

The project just launched and is a software-first project. We won't see a Libre Phone available for a while yet.

Unless they can get this working with Android Auto or Carplay I don;t see it going anywhere.

Nah, fuck that.

I'd rather see Linux on the head unit, too.

I'd still want an Android Auto and Apple Carplay equivalent.

I want my 2030 car to still be able to get the latest and greatest hardware and software in 2040 via me upgrading my phone.
