I assumed they couldn't do refunds because they were close to insolvent. Turns out they just didn't want to. Not a great look...

The Liberty phone with made in USA Electronics is quite lucrative with very high margin.

I'd love for them to be the company I can believe in, but their whole roll out of the pre-order system was so mishandled. They're going to have to work hard to build that trust again

No investments in 2023, so I wonder what is their next product going to be?

I'm pretty sure nobody's actually using those phones, and unlike the pine phones I don't see an active development community
