I swear they unveiled the libre phone 10 years ago.

I have a Purism Librem 5 phone which is fully FOSS Linux phone.

The name keeps throwing me off lol

I mean when I was looking up there have been people that have been using the term libre phone for somewhere around a decade or so. Hell I found an old Reddit post from 8 years ago that talked about asking if it'd be possible to make a pure libre phone. And then of course it came across the Lebrim 5 that you mentioned there so I'm sure they originally used that term as well.

Incidentally what do you think of the phone do you have just the standard one or do you have that premium one?
