Is it _that_ different from the general phone you can find on the market? I thought most manufacturer had conflict minerals policy now (maybe I got duped!) and though I applaud the idea of choosing your OS and wish more people would go that route, I'm still confused at how original this project really is...

Many companies don't make an effort to audit their supply chain to ensure their minerals are sourced ethically.
