As previosuly stated I am a great believer, in both open source and open hardware, I have done a lot of research on the librem5 and I have no doubt they will produce what they say they will produce. The Librem5 is a COMPLETELY new design, the team has gone to tremendous lengths to make sure all drivers will be open source. They have been working with the Free Software Foundation to make sure they can call the design open. They also have been working with the firm thats actually making the device to make sure it will be reliable, They stated the initial production run will only be 5000 devices. Given the interest its likely these will not be availble for a long time.

Quality "Android One" devices /may/ be okay, but the Nokia 7.1 seems to have that covered well at reasonable cost.
What's up with that now that MS has officially dumped the Windows Phone? Will Nokia go back to Android?
Well, for a period of time, no Nokia phone could be anything but Windows -- that period has expired.
HMD make "Nokia" phones today and they are Android phones.
Good value phones and the latest ones are getting Android Pie ... see attached email with some details.

JB had all Nokia mobiles at 20% recently, so the 7.1 could have been had for a tad under $400 if you were lucky; perhaps it'll happen again. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/nokia/nokia-7-1-mi...
