Great example. But if you’ve seen videos on them, most people wouldn’t be willing to use it. It’s not about getting nerds like us to buy one, it’s about getting someone used to the latest iPhone to use it.
Many come up when searching Pinephone Pro on YouTube. I don’t want to link any in particular because I can’t vouch for them, but they’re definitely out there. And they’re all about 3 years old.
I watched a few when it was new and it was clear it was for geeks. The killer for me is banking. Until banks are onboard with mobile check deposit, I probably can’t see them fully taking off.
Ah, misinterpreted. And I guess that’s part of it. I don’t even get excited for anything anymore until people have them in their hands. At this point, I consider anything vaporware until I’m convinced otherwise.
I guess what I was trying to say is liberux doesn’t have any real market adoption, so people are really just buying promises at $1500. Meanwhile, pinephone cost half, and they got the real thing, albeit not polished.
PinePhone is available at half the price, and they’re striving for the same thing.

Where are this video? I’d like to see it, honestly.
I’ve tried searching for it, and I couldn’t even find any real person (outside of ads) actually getting their hands on it.
