@SanctimoniousApe Yes, I think the previous one may have been a Gigaset #GX6. That could be a good thing comparedto engineering a phone like Purism, Pine64, etc. It's just going top to bottom, rather than the reverse, so normie-users get stuff working out of the box and can daily drive it.

I don't think #FuriLabs are opposed to engineering a phone with mainline kernel support, but who is going to finance that? Certainly not enough users willing to pay for the purist approach - which I support BTW as #Librem5 / #postmarketOS user. So their approach does make sense with very limited money, time and support.

I never said otherwise, just pointed out that they weren't engineering it from scratch. I agree there's no need for that as long as they are given the info they need to write the drivers.
