These are what we call data points 
In all seriousness, Purism’s email suggested that every customer would receive an email in Sept giving us more firm shipping estimates, not just those who are next in line in the queue. With less than 4 days left of Sept, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.
Nothing’s changed really. Only thing we can do is hurry up and wait.

People are starting to post on reddit again about receiving their L5:
https://teddit.net/r/Purism/comments/pvahfu/librem_5_noob_questions/
https://teddit.net/r/Purism/comments/pvbzi2/its_been_a_3_year_wait_but_it_finally_arrived/
A common theme seems to be “How do I [do some basic function] on this thing?”
I really wonder if Purism’s documentation, or directions to find the documentation online, are adequate, if people can’t even figure out how to power down the phone. Probably more attention to getting instructional info to new owners’ is needed.
I realize there’s no way to make people read a quick start guide, though. It might help if this forum and the wikis were featured more prominently on Purism’s main site, so people know there’s help here.

Perhaps a desktop icon for Help that sorts before all the apps in the second group and which is a basic cheat-sheet?
Apart from power down, what else would it need to cover? Closing an app? Switching to another app? Opening another app?
At the end of the day, it’s what you are used to - and it takes time. The iPhone still manages to astonish me with obscurity and lack of user-friendliness after so many years.

Do let us know when the L5 actually ships and update the post. I’d like to resume the graphical chart tracking progress :).
UPDATE: Thanks for the updates everybody, I pasted in the latest chart based on your data in the first post img link here.

Who has gotten their September update email?

Im hoping that some type of update email comes out today even if its not the one we are expecting. Letting the time frame go by without a followup for not meeting the deadline is not an acceptable way to due business IMO. 9 hrs until the 1st of Oct for my time zone.

I’m waiting as well.
Because of the upcoming deadline I have mailed support and asked if something went wrong.
As for now, deadly silence…

DId yours arrive today?
Anyone notice that on Availability Chart, the Librem 5 now shows a lead time of 52 week? (90 days for the USA edition.) That means, for some at least, close to another whole year of waiting.
