to place a order on Batch Fir, have i to wait until the release roll for Batch Evergreen is over?
or just order the evergreen batch and have a sudden change of heart later ?
I would suggest you to ask them via mail. I expect that it’s possible as purism was customer friendly in this regard in the past. If you get a response feel free to share it here
just sent the Operations/Shipping team a E-mail! I will update as soon i get a reply from them.
- I cant wait, so i get myself a Evergreen version!
- I’l wait for the Fyr version!

I for one would like to use my current pre-order to be applied to a Fir batch device .
Have you asked for that to be the case?
Me? Yes i did. I wrote the question exactly how I did on this topic.
As it happens, I was asking @Some_dude36
Forum software bug / feature that it doesn’t always link a reply correctly to a post.
i got a response which was: No, you don’t. Just add a note during checkout that you would like the Fir batch. I hope it’s more as clear for all curious people now
for clarity sake that means that you DO have the option of paying now for a Fir batch even if the present order is done for the evergreen batch. exactly what i’ve done only i’ve opted for a mix (i’ll get both when they are ready) … and i should hope that conditions don’t change so much that i won’t see any benefits to my investment …
I wrote them , awaiting a response.
Actually I’d received a response . They didnt say they WILL do it but I got a response from Jose Azevedo that my " batch preference has been updated to Fir " . However it appeared to just be my batch " preference " so not sure whether that was a " yes " or " we’ll try "
more like a “yes we’d be happy to oblige but due to the unstable foundation our society is going through right now we’re UNCERTAIN what might befall of your Fir preference”
I would take that basically as a “yes”. The term “preference” is presumably being used because with the original choice of batch preference between A … E it really was only a preference, as they couldn’t guarantee that, for example, everyone who wanted to be in batch A would actually make it into batch A if batch A is oversubscribed.
The only uncertainty with Fir is that you are buying an as yet non-existent product. So, on the one hand, it is like backing the original project - subject to uncertainty about whether and when - but hopefully with a lower risk than the original project, and hopefully not quite so long a lead time.
whatever . If the Fir v2 batch falls through Im sure Purism would hopefully still give me a gen 1 evergreen .
They have to…
It has probably come up before, but I was wondering whether the Fir incarnation of the Librem5 will have a different form factor. Or, to put it more bluntly, will it be less thick/bulky?
?so you ordered evergreen and fir? Just to have a second phone as reserve from Same Exemplar OR to financial support them?
yes both Evergreen batch AND Fir are in my current order (not that this should matter for people)
look i’m not so deluded to think that my poor order is great enough to make a difference on it’s own. My idea was that if a couple thousand people support Purism they have a bigger chance of success and … so do we in the end as investors …
plot twist: they will succeed
I wanted that too and for 2 weeks I received no response from their team, so I ended up cancelling my order. I saw others who were allowed to change
