I agree with you. Caligra did correct me and appropriately as I had misconstrued the shipping announcement. Yet, I have really been miffed by both the deception of the Q3 release as unqualified at the outset and then noted as incomplete in its execution.
For those who are ‘collectors’ and consider that Librem 5 will be enough of a success that the ‘early versions’ may have values as “Electronics Antique Collectables” there may be some advantage to having a very rough copy.
I had known a gentleman who owned a Ford Edsel Ambulance and a Ford Edsel Hearse, both of these non-production models in prototype status. They are in demand and I am sure that these one-off’s may even be more valuable than a Librem 5 early version, but some people love the opportunity to get in at the early stages for the rare ‘big payoff’ possible later.
