Now that we have seen the components used in Dodgewood, do we have any notion of how much can be reduced in terms of thickness before the Evergreen mass production?
@Edwin Dogwood is supposed to be very similar to Evergreen as far as I know, they want to avoid changing too much between Dogwood and Evergreen to avoid making some regression in the final mass produced batch. You shouldn’t expect any difference in form factor.
Thank you @johan-bjareholt.
For now the Librem phone to me just isn’t as sustainable as I expected it to be as a daily driver. I do appreciate Purism efforts and want them to succeed in their goals so I will keep a close watch on the Purism path towards a ‘mainstream’ phone, hoping the Fir batch will take it up a notch. In the meantime I’ll have a look at a replacement for my Lumia 950, probably a UBport supported device.

@dos, thank you for making this current development stage, but anyhow important to be shared here and, IMO, great video for the Linux phone community 
️!
I agree, I saw this on Mastodon or Twitter I think, and commented there that this was great work, and really encouraging!
Another progress video:
It really is coming together! I’m really liking the ui a lot! Especially when I consider that it is regular Linux running underneath it all!
indeed it seems that vibration (haptic feedback) is a thing now
mobile PureOS also seems to be snappier … the temperature sensors seem to work alright !
In that video a reference is made to a chromium scrip that allows users to get chromium to render well on small screen. Any idea where that script is available ?
Great Video Quarnero, can you do anymore maybe showing different apps and so on?
More videos including calls would be great.
Also please just confirm what batch this is please?
Thanks in advance

It’s kinda ugly atm.

This is the bug around the keyboard: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/168
Dogwood pictures:
Things are progressing fast: a few months ago it was unclear if the Librem 5 could make even one phone call. Now, two phone calls at the same time! 
Still looks very early but ok
edit: VOIP is cool but normal phone calls would be nice. Complain about sim card costs but unlike the US, some parts of the world don’t ask for a lot for sim. I have 2 main sims with one costing 10 a month and other 20 a month with both having unlimited phone call and text message and other stuff with very fast speeds with one having whole Europe zone and other having some other countries I need. Bring normal phone calls please (and also review showing it from someone that isn’t an employee of purism).
Normal (GSM) phone calls are already possible for quite some time.
As for controling the balance on the SIM card, this is in the works:
There is this review where they tested a Chestnut:
which says that “the Librem 5 handles calls and contacts reasonably well” and “calls are easy enough to make, and the audio quality is good” (although there was a problem with speaker mode)
