>I like Librem, though I am a little concerned here. I prefer if hardware and services comes from different companies

I actually agree 100% with you, however I think at this stage of the market development, its enough to have a 3rd choice who's apps and services are open.

Librem is facing the "Grandmother problem". In order for this concept to actually succeed, it eventually needs regular folks to buy it. Its not enough to tell thousands of grandmothers to "buy our phone hardware and simply download and install any of the dozens of confusing and competing software stacks by following these 20 instructions on github". It needs to be marketed and sold as coherent integrated product, otherwise just buy an old Samsung and root it yourself....




I definitely agree re: Grandmother problem, but I'd rather it configure services for you they aren't selling you. There's no shortage of services that already exist Librem could make easy to work with.
