Somewhat sensationalist. Delays surrounding the yet to be delivered chipset was at least communicated as it happened and not publicly denied or silently lacking in any updates like so many other projects.

But I do understand your meaning now more clearly.

How would you use the qwerty keyboard with the screen in vertical position? With the numbers pad worked, but with a 5-6" sceen makes no sense in my opinion.

That's doable via the portrait keyboard a-la Sony Clie NX70v/NZ90.

Also: Samsung Alias 2 with the weird e-ink keyboard

Well...
Give the purism boys a bit ..
Then ...worry.
People tend to be a bit antsy with delays nowadays....

Ach!
Chen....please do not do a Y.A.S. (yet another smartphone)...
Trailblaze! Instead...
Make a communicator for the cool boys...


And a tricorder for the devs...


Hell...don't they still have a boumty on creating real ones?
I recall vaguely ...not sure it has been accomplished yet.
I do remember some group out west here in Canada ...had some successes down the tricorder road...

If you can build qwerty keyboard mods...Chen...
A tricorder should be a breeze...

Ha ha! Love it! I just got an email update from Purism folks saying everything is hunky dory. Although I saw no mention of chip delays.

Regardless, "What's another year?" Dunno but I think I'll have a beer...

Sarcasm is difficult and I can not write it properly enough in English... But some understood it... Thanks.

Yes. A device for cool kidz is indeed needed. How many do devices do you think is needed to get a spot in the assembly line?

Do anyone know if chen still working for this phone to reach the market?

All updates here and on Indiegogo would suggest he is but he has been laying low of late with very little in the way of updates on either (which I am currently assuming is because he is awaiting delivery of the final parts to get keyboards mods out the way and close that chapter before hyping the next project)

If I'm honest I'm skeptical that it will get built and hit the market with the type of speed needed to be relevant and make the money required or be at the price I can afford for need to break even (happy to be proven wrong liangchen)

I think it's all a waiting game until one of the big players such as Samsung gets bored of the generic easy money and decides to dabble in something a bit techy retro for publicity and to give the engineers their creative dignity back....but I'm currently 10 years + and a whole lot of whisky down waiting for it to happen and my dirty secret is in that time I've embraced Android and and WhatsApp and Android pay are now a part of life.....d@mn how I miss dabbling with my phone
