A veritable steal at only $629.99, truly emphasizing the philosophy of the Raspberry Pi project. I'd seriously consider this in favour of my next real estate purchase

even though it's canadian $ it seems highly overpriced. A raspberry pi of the last generation for almost double the price of the current gen (36$)?

And 3d printing 340$.. did the author mean buying the 3D printer too? Because I'm sure if you have a friend who has a printer they can print it for 10$ and they make a 8$ profit with that.

IMO: the pinephone feels very much like a handheld raspberry pi (It even has some IO on the back) and costs a sixth of this (although personally I’ve already found a couple kernel bugs on mine, on the other hand the original raspberry pi was way buggier so maybe I should be happy I haven’t found more.)

I think that might include the cost of a 3D printer required to print it.

More than half of the cost is what the creator paid to 3D printing services in order to create the enclosure/related parts.

Common, what's a mortgage payment between friends?
