If you're stateside and want a shipping Linux phone today, [FuriLabs](http://furilabs.com) is another option.

Graphene is in a class of its own compared to both of these though and there's frankly no reason to bother unless you're trying to improve those ecosystems.

In case others, like me, weren't aware.

I admit to being shocked that such a common phrase isn’t widely understood, but this site has plenty of international traffic so I can only say thanks for the context comment. :)

Yeah, it's funny how our contexts shapes what we believe to be universal :) I had the same experience with "ground floor" and "first floor", where seemingly every country has a different understanding and way they use those. Or even what "Caravan" actually is seems to differ too. Language is fun :)

Thanks! I had no idea that this existed. Unfortunately, the specs aren't great, especially when compared to Jolla's offering. Oh well.

I'm quite enthusiastic about Graphene's OEM partnership,though.

I share your enthusiasm re: Graphene OEM partnerships. I think it's fantastic what they've managed to pull off so far.

Re: the FuriLabs phone, yeah, it's rough - but it's definitely usable for early adopters who want to contribute and help build.
