I pre-ordered a pair of the mobile phones. I eventually got them. They aren’t very good, but I have them.
I’d say the most helpful thing they’ve done is lead the way on adapting Linux and its applications to display and be interactive on small touchscreens. Many people wanting to run Linux on a phone will have Purism to thank for making it viable. They made a lot of upstream contributions.
i got a fairphone from murena with /e/OS preinstalled recently. i love it so far, but theres a weird glitch where it will randomly switch timezones and only goes back when i restart it and some apps are a little broken.
the issues are relatively minor and its nice to have a phone i know i can plan to keep for a really long time. also the camera is so much better than my old phone. some people said its mid compared to other new phones but if i wanted a camera that nice id buy a real camera.
This is a nice list I’d consider for new phones.
Purism is a grift, should be removed.
Many people are still waiting on phones they ordered years ago.
