You can currently buy a Librem 5, PinePhone, or Furi FLX1. I’m not aware of any others at the moment.

I haven't watched that video, but I've seen the comments from unhappy people over the years.

I don't know if we'll ever get the full story, but I imagine it was either that or go insolvent. I'm guessing they tied up all the preorder money, and the delays put them between a rock and a hard place.

They handled it poorly, but I think they're on top of everything now.
