I looks forward to seeing reviews.
Offhand, does anyone have a list of closed source drivers this device? It’s not a dealbreaker to me (I use many raspberry pis in my home), but it’s nice to have an inventory.

Warranty and guarantee ("Gewährleistung") are different things, at least in germany. Warranty is something provided freely by the manufacturer/supplier under whatever terms they want. Guarantee on the other hand is mandatory, and even though it's two years, after 6 months you have to prove the defect was there from the beginning, which is somewhat complicated for electronics...

There are many reviews already available. Hardware is practically identical.

Depends on the operating system. For example on those with Phosh: https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Apps/index.html.

#16Does it allow to call phones and send SMS? This seems like a silly question, but I know that some version of Librem didn't and nobody mentioned it in their reviews.

I see this comment every time something about the PinePhone is announced, but considering that this is more of a tinkering project and not so much an actual product I just don't see how relevant this is.
You are not buying a Pixel 4, you are buying something that still needs a lot of work.

Then don't buy it. Its a community service.

#20I personally think that the effort to create open source phones is the single most important technology project going on out there. We have open source browsers, we have open source social apps, but we definitely do not have open source phones. Phones that can be truly owned and controlled by users will reshape the privacy discourse, from one of complaining and legal coercion, to one of choices and markets.
