    Wow, very interesting. But being able to root it is pretty much a must, for me. I wonder if this will give users that freedom.

        They have confirmed that you can unlock the bootloader, and are claiming 5 years of updates.

        They have shipped hardware before and seem like a somewhat reputable company. They haven’t made a phone before though so we shall see.

            Unless you do it all yourself? What more do you need? An unlocked bootloader means custom roms and rooting are possible, right?

        I suppose we could all band together and send them email after email asking for it… I suppose…

    I might actually use this as my primary phone (I agree with others who say marketing this as a 2nd phone was a mistake) if it gets e/os/ or grapheneos support
