I’m bummed to hear about a bad experience with the Librem phone- I was hoping that would be a better experience than I had with the PinePhone which was slow and essentially broken for calling and camera usage. It may have improved since last year but at the time calls would rarely work properly, either by not connecting, failing to interrupt the session properly, or have latent echo of one or both sides of the call. They provide several distros which is nice so your results may vary.

The LibreM phone is just too darn chunky and heavy.

I didn't get into details in the article, but I do on the Fediverse:

Why do you spell it “LibreM”?

In the article, you simply say it’s “I find the hardware too clumsy and heavy”, and your fediverse text only complains about its thickness. However, it’s thinner than both the Nokia N990 and the older Nokia 9000.
