      Haha haha h haha h haha haha…but also: no. Of course not.

      I’d eat one if they offer root options. Or a firmware. Or a major update. Or anything else beside a pricetag and the wish to never hear from you again.

        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.

          Aren’t the 5 yrs now mandatory in the EU? And unlocking the BL I can do on most phones. Doesn’t help a lot though unless you do it all yourself. So I’d still wonder if root will be possible. I like to own the devices I buy 😊

          I love your optimism, you must be new to this 😁 But yeah sure, we could. I probably just grew bitter over the last decade of total enshittification
