Congratulations nostr:npub173mfyz7h3p9gq8gff22654cyekmx7ft4cdsr4cl4g90gzmd3k4lqcjzw5u team on hitting shipping parity for the mass-produced Librem 5! I know first hand how hard everyone has worked to get to this point and how many obstacles you faced along the way.

#Librem5
Good to see Librem 5 now more available. I think the PinePhine Pro has the advantage though:
- Thinner to fit in a pocket
- A third the price
- Dip switches to disable the modem and etc.
Advantage goes to Librem 5 for easily acessible hardware switches and the modem can be removed entirely. This may not be worth it to pay three times as much though.
I think part of the cost of Librem 5 goes to software development.
Also interesting, GPS will stay on when then modem is disabled or removed from the Librem 5. This could be useful for navigation. However, I didn't have any success on getting a position from it using typical map apps.
