During Librem 5 BOF at Fosdem @nicole.faerber announced:
-
Dogwood will start shipping at the end of March
-
Evergreen will start shipping in July
-
Evergreen pre-orders will all be shipped till the end of the year, after then, new orders will be shipped in two weeks
This announcement was nine days ago, with Coronavirus delaying Chinese industry I expect additional shipping delays.
So Fir batch should start next year.
In this BOF there were participating also some developers of Purism, their goal is to solve Librem 5 main issues like battery quick discharge and heat dissipation for Evergreen, I do not know if they will already succeed for Dogwood. In the room they passed a Librem 5 to participants, I touched it after 15 minutes and it was already hot, even Nicole is not yet using it as her main phone, she still uses her Cosmo Communicator as her daily drive.
