Oh well, someone was selling their L5, so I will have one next week, and when I get it, use uuu, then start getting things built so I can migrate from SafishOS to it.

I didn’t want to reply, but Purism didn’t hit the time frame I said before. Something went wrong internal, so I never got that reply with shipping notification.
However, I wrote last week to Purisms support-email and got a response one day later. João Azevedo apologized for that and wrote that he is trying to ship it on same week. One day later (Thursday) I got that shipment notification. Thanks for that simple and fast support @joao.azevedo.
I wanted to share this experience with you people. If you miss any email about verification or shipment, just write a friendly request/reminder and all will be done just fine. But only if Purism is over your queue number - so compare with this thread before (and may give 1 or 2 weeks extra to be sure). In past I saw some people writing that they got no L5 even months after Purism reached their queue number. There is no need for waiting that long.

I am happy to have the device though, and I’ll do another post about the setting up experience, since I am in the unusual group of those who have already been using the Pinephone as the only phone for the last two years.

I can´t believe it, after all this time reading about others receiving their L5, finally my time has arrived!! I hope this helps to stop comments about Purism not keeping up with their promises. The work they have accomplished in creating the L5 has been huge and many others before them have failed, so hats off for the whole team at Purism and also to all the community supporting this forum. Particular thanks to Joao Azevedo and the support team at Purism for their very specific requests and clear communications before shipping which has made the delivery process particularly easy.
