Their campaign doesn't tell me that they have a lot of experience in developing this sort of hardware, thus it doesn't inspire me with much confidence. The Neo900 team had Openmoko experience. What do these guys have? As far as I'm aware, most phone manufacturers produce several prototypes before delivering a final product. I know Nokia did.
In some interview they said it is based on https://puri.sm/products/librem-11/ tablet.

So they have some HW skills at least.
