No technical details in the technical details section. Talks about privacy and then uses the least privacy-respecting carrier: AT&T? Ok cool, so the customer bill says Librem... when this gets piped to the NSA with the location data, I'm sure they can't handle putting a name to it. When it gets sold to location brokers with current location information, I'm sure it won't have the unique phone number tied to it. Might as well wave and put a target on your head saying "please de-anonymize me".
No clear definition of where deprioritization limits kick in or how it is to be enforced. Who cares though! The Librem 5 ships with a cat3 LTE modem. That is only just LTE on a single carrier, no LTE Advanced, no carrier aggregation. Forget talking about 5G, we don't even have a modem that supports full 4G operating speeds. Stop hyping something you aren't close to.
Now I get it, I'm sounding very harsh but understand that this is a company that's selling a packaged virtue signal (sorta like Virtu used to) and is consistently over-promising and under-delivering. Making phones is hard, making them in the US is next to impossible. I'd rather have a piece of working/shipping Chinesium (Pinephone) for a fifth of the price and use a sim card paid in cash from a prepaid carrier that I can load whatever to it and isn't going to be gone in a year, if I cared to attempt anonymity.
