Lots of criticism here focusing on use of the word ethical. I don't care to argue semantics, I'm just really excited for this phone!
> We will continue to evolve as we understand better how this subset of the industry works. The success of our phone is critical, as it will provide us with the legitimacy and leverage we need to bend hardware suppliers to our way of thinking by showing them that we have the potential to be market leaders with ethical products that respect users.
Purism’s style in press releases is pretty annoying, but I really appreciate the blog posts.
I backed the phone. I’ve backed most GNU+Linux replacements for my iDevices.
If it half-works it will have wildly exceeded my expectations!
I wish them the very best.
