I will buy it and I am sure I'm gonna love it. I will feel good having it in my pocket and knowing nobody gets my data if it's not me giving it to them. I will develop software for it and I hope others will too. I really hope THIS is the future of personal mobile devices, and I want to help make that happen.

I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm, but how do you know that?

"and knowing nobody gets my data if it's not me giving it to them"

As far as I know, the hardware is not open source, nor is the firmware.

So it is a nice step in the right direction, but we are not there yet.

Even if it's not perfect, it's like a million times better than everything else around.

Perfection will come. Maybe.

I could see it being the future. I think expanse has it correct. In the future, mobile devices will essentially be commoditised. If you need one you get one. Once you’re done, you recycle it. They’re essentially shards of plastic with a connection to the internet. Who even cares who made them.
