> 100% of the appeal for this phone is that you'll be able to run GNU/X11 on it.

I just got rid of X11 from all my desktop PCs, no way in hell I'm using that pile of shit on a phone.

Also, it appeals to be because it's a phone that will support mainline Linux, NXP has been willing to support their products for longer terms than Qualcomm, puts the user firmly in the drivers' seat, and is being designed for eventual mainstream appeal.
