I’m by no means a lefty and appreciate what Steve Bannon is doing but you also have to realize that sometimes people make these doom and gloom predictions for eyeballs. The globalists do not want to plunge the world into a 1930’s style depression because they will create a massive cohort of people with nothing to loose, and that is very very dangerous to their agenda. I think they will continue to print worthless fiat like there is no tomorrow to keep interest rates down, that’s what I think. They want to continue their efforts to plunge the world into soft totalitarianism.

I’m afraid this is not the right thread for politics. Please don’t continue.

When did you order?
Check the post that they are “replying” to – it indicates they ordered on 2018-04-12.
This is a bit exciting… I still have not received a tracking email, but if they are processing 2018-04, then 2018-05 should be soon… I feel I cannot wait.

updated chart, you’ll see a bit of zigzag in the end, some May 2018 orders have been shipped and received already, but it seems the strict and nice relationship between order date and ship date is not that strict anymore…

I switched to the USA version, in order to support American electronics manufacturing. My upgrade was on June 17, 2022; I received it today, July 15, 2022.
I’m still playing with it, but it feels like a solid piece of hardware. Nicely done, Purism!

Purism Shipped: 2022-07-02, 00:16 (Jul 2) to Aus.
Received: 2022-07-07, 9:45 (Jul 7) Only 5 days!?
I didn’t check my email for a month, so I missed the address verification mail. Thankfully I kept my place in the queue. 4 years to the day but it would have been sooner had I actually responded. Wish I never said what I said in that closed thread, but I just kept receiving funding request emails from Todd and it didn’t resonate well after waiting for 3 at that point. Sorry. I like the phone, It’s really very nice. Thank you.

First impressions: It will not be my everyday device for the time being. It’s still too buggy for that. For example, the battery is quickly empty and the device becomes (too) hot. But…it can only get better

Yesterday I reiceived this email from Purism:
Dear XY ,
Thank you all for persevering through the supply chain challenges with us. We continue to solve building a favorable hardware, software, and ecosystem for privacy, freedom and security as a social purpose corporation. Here is a detailed update on how we are continuing to support this journey.
Continuing to Deliver Librem 5s
With the CPU, which is a main component of the Librem 5 phone being available again we are resuming manufacturing of the Librem 5 in China for delivery to all existing orders.
Librem 5 will begin shipping in larger quantities starting in a month or so and continuing throughout the rest of 2022. We have set an internal goal to ship all existing orders before the end of 2022 and are working hard to resolve the remaining supply chain issues and coordinate everything else necessary to hit that goal. We will begin updating more orders on our site with shipping estimates in the coming weeks.
Librem 5 USA to attain shipping parity:
The Librem 5 USA (with Made in USA Electronics at our US facility) will be in-stock and at shipping parity within a week or two.
If a customers order today, their phone will arrive within 30 days, in another week or two the lead time will drop to 10 days. We expect to keep the Librem 5 USA in stock and available going forward.
For those who want to upgrade your Librem 5 order to Librem 5 USA ,please contact us at support@puri.sm. Our team will issue a coupon code that you can use to upgrade your order.
Building a software ecosystem:
We continue innovating and investing in software is the most expensive part of producing our Librem product line. The millions of software development dollars spent on the Librem 5 running PureOS pushed upstream innovations that all the supporters of Purism should be proud of.
We are hitting near-weekly releases of Purism-authored Phosh (the GUI), Phoc (the Compositor), Squeekboard (the Keyboard), Calls (for calling), Chats (for texting and messaging), and libhandy/libadwaita to make the large swath of existing GTK-based applications adaptive to small screen computing devices.
We look forward to growing with your continued support in the future with new products, new software releases and new services.
Todd Weaver,
Founder & CEO, Purism

Does this mean that purism has a “container” of L5’s coming (left China)? Due to the provocative visit of the speaker woman to Taiwan the delivery from China can stop at any moment and the long wait starts again …
Oh, yeah. I forgot that is is the US fault. 
Taiwan could have told the US “please don’t come” and could join PRC tomorrow if they wanted to. PRC would welcome them.
But guess what, they don’t want to be ruled by a totalitarian regime.
Since the 24th of February, I lost my tolerance for pro-totalitarian and anti-american opinions.
