A friend of mine told me about this phone and also told me that it now costs just $150 for programmers, which is much less than $699. Is this true?
Most likely your friend is confusing this with the PinePhone which has developer prototypes available for $150.

HA HA whaatt??!
I don’t think that’s even legal. At least here in Canada it wouldn’t be.
//edit: Looked into it because it caught my interest.
It’s not illegal in California to discriminate based on profession. So like, I guess a restaurant could make an offering of “full menu available after hours to firefighters only” or whatever. Here limited sale is just for established relationships or restricted products (invite to a trunk sale for valued customers, only professional landscapers can buy certain pesticides, etc. etc.) so yeah, that just struck me as questionable…but it’s not and totally legal in California.

I don’t know Czech, but I can’t say it better than Karel Čapek

Čapek gave the world the word “robot” and he still doesn’t get a Librem 5 for $150.

That may be because he is dead (1938) :-). Very well said indeed (I feel quite guilty).
