Someone shared on Trisquel's forums a direct email communication with Purism revealing the way the company avoids being fully transparent about the fact that their device does not offer better privacy when used *as a phone* — it has privacy advantages only when the phone functionality is completely turned off, in which case the questioner claims it is nothing more than a pocket (or even stationary) PC.

Pretty sure Librem is just hoping to be able to reliably make/receive phone calls and texts upon launch.
These I want a pony requests for the initial release of an open product by a small team, but where anyone can add the features they want later are just silly, and it is a good thing that Librem is ignoring them. Once there is a product released, additional features can be discussed, and I'm sure they will accept patches / Librem is not preventing you from porting your favorite app yourself.
