I am sorry here in germany what is not in the law most of the time does not happen I know it's more common in the US where companies do some support things that they are not legaly required in a spirit of the customer is king...
So what's their business modell then? do they have some products they see as ready like the cheap notebook and others they try to sell to only few people, or do they just take huge debts and hope to make money in 5-10 years?
I think I never stumbled over a company that goal is to sell as few devices as possible
I would argue that they overdo it, while maybe Librem overhypes their products they seem to do the exact opposite, maybe somewhere in the middle would be better... but well I can't dictate them what to do, it's just common business practise that after some time late customers get some incentives, I don't know if it was for free but they gave at least very cheap a updated version with more ram and flash space...
Again even if they don't make something cheaper I can't buy the phone without a keyboard so I hope they get that done 1 year after teasing it.
I mean how long is the device out, they designed it with connectors for the keyboard in mind, so it would be time to deliver a modul that is can be used and is useful for people... Sorry a bit bitchy about this, but even the 200 euro or what it costs is a investment for some people so I need some uniquness besides software to justify it, and the shitty alpha state is not stopping me, as long as I can run emacs but emacs without a keyboard makes no sense
