Why would anyone think that FSF is capable of releasing a unique and good device? It's gonna be a bog-standard Android device with some software modified/removed.

Might be ok for some people still though. Also I'll be happy to be wrong about my cynicism.

Because as much as they're ridiculed today by libcucks of OSS, FSF was a formidable force of software once. At some point in history literally the only way to avoid paying absolutely insane manufacturer license fees for things like compilers was using GNU tools.

If they put their ass into it, they can pull it off tbh

I guess I'll see phones with this in my local stores at.. 10 years? Too generous, maybe 15.
