    Back in 2012 my first smartphone was a Motorola Photon Q, the XT879 "Asanti," chosen specifically because it had a keyboard and could run what was then called CyanogenMod. I'm in the market for a new phone as my old Moto C Plus is really starting to show its age, and was this close to picking up the G8 Power or waiting for the G9 equivalent...and then saw this.

    Is there any mention of price anywhere? Those specs do not look cheap...

    $649 + $40 shipping for 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage.
    $719 + $40 shipping for 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage.

    Various "early bird" prices that are common on crowdfunding projects, but those two are the main tiers. 10% more for 33% more RAM and double the storage seems like a no-brainer.

      Waaaaaay too expensive for me. My freaking laptop didn't cost that much and it has a Ryzen 3700U in it! Looks like I'll be going with the G9 Power whenever it comes out, though if I had the money to spare I'd be all over this. Wish the Pinephone team would put out something with an SD 620 or so in it...
