       | 
       | As far as I know, _no other phone_ is slated to have it.

           | For the record, when the librem 5 birch came out and I got my
           | shipping notification, that guy literally asked if the FedEx
           | package was real.
           | 
           | He also at one point took a forum post I made about asking
           | how to charge the battery after a deep discharge (turns out I
           | just needed to keep it plugged in to get it charged), posted
           | it to Reddit as proof that anyone investing in it is a moron.
           | 
           | He also said he despises the CEO of Purism.

           | I say that to say I personally think that person is a troll
           | or has some personal issues.

         | I really respect Sebastian. He has very deep technical
         | knowledge and hangs out on several Pinephone channels and
         | offers helps on them. This is in spite of the fact that the
         | Pinephone is more or less a competing product and I doubt he
         | gets paid to do so.
