Engadget review says chen designed this himself. Also the CNN. I think we should remove these words about Nokia designers or expand a bit more on this plz. Did chen work at ari jaaksis team?

To me it doesn’t matter who designed it but we need the correct information since it’s available in the first post.

I think it’s the best review on the first page. He takes about why this is awsome but also things that are less awsome. That is really important. If everything is awsome I don’t trust em.

In Brazil is 100% of (price+shipping costs) in taxes. So, a US$60 product + US$40 DHL => US$100 taxes => total US$200.

This is such a ridiculous colour! Every time I look at the lime phone, I have to smile :-)
Buying this stupid plastic peace for 30€ was one of the best investments I ever made, because of this. I would be willing to pay even more for the Pro1, if it wouldn't be painted in the usual and boring black/grey/mainstream sh*t.
This post made me smile, thank you

The insane (seeming) spike in taxes and customs are completely understandable and considered acceptable nowadays in light of the relatively recent findings...
Essentially the calculations used to be based on normal taxes and customs and value added taxes and shipping...
hrm...think of it like ...the incredibly useful Carbon Credit and tax system that has been implemented ...but on a much more "Quantum-ly Entangled" scale...
...Considering the bleed over from Multiple Parallel Universes...
the loss and / or gain from sales in those "Alternates" now must be made up for...so there is a "balancing - out of the books" ...so to speak..
So saying ...the shipping, taxes, vat ...etc...you may already have paid on the device, are paying, or will pay clear into the future after your purchase has been done...
Hence the new Abbrev.s everyone may notice in the fine print of much of what is purchased nowadays..
MPUSF (Multiple Parallel Universe Shipping Fees)
MPUT(taxes)
and MPUVAT

The best we can hope for in light of this new method of increasing fees...
Is that someone comes up with an UNTE (Universal Nullification Theory Equation) to counter the MPU fees...

The downside is ...
proving a UNTE to discredit the widely accepted MPU Theory ...
may just wink us all out of existence.

But at least for a nanosecond we all would enjoy not having to deal with the damn fees.

My problem is that I don't want another Android phone. I already have one with top specs and I paid for the librem phone. However if I can be convinced that I can boot up something like Debian from the get go I might get it as a pocket computer which I could use. Not interested in chroot (or proot) as I can already do this on current phone. I am also torn cause I would like to support this work...
