[Testannounce] Librem 5 Aspen Shipping Update

  An Update on Librem 5 Shipping
  <https://puri.sm/posts/supplying-the-demand/>

Thank you all for the continued support and remarkable demand for the 
Librem 5.

As we’ve mentioned before we are iterating through shipping batches. The 
purpose of doing so is to increment and improve with each batch toward 
mass production and share that story publicly. As a result, these 
earlier batches are limited in quantity as we move toward mass production.


    Demand for Early Batches

We intended on the second revision of Aspen (black case) getting into 
the hands of backers, but due to the results of quality control tests 
against RAM clocking at full-speed (consuming power and generating 
heat), we made the decision to move those backers to Birch and deliver 
the rest of Aspen to developers and staff. This issue will be corrected 
and tested prior to the shipping of the Birch batch. As we progress 
toward the larger (but still limited) Birch batch we can already see the 
writing on the wall; we have more demand for early batches than the 
supply planned until we reach mass production.

We know that many of you have been frustrated by the lack of public 
updates around the Aspen batch until now, and we hear you. We are trying 
to balance the myriad (but imminently solvable) challenges of perfecting 
the Librem 5, with the aim to update all of you with detailed updates as 
early and often as we can.

Please continue to be patient. You will get your Librem 5. It’s just a 
matter of iterating through the supply toward mass production to meet 
the demand. Your support and understanding as we’ve designed and built 
this revolutionary mobile phone from schematics on up has been much 
appreciated.


    Thank You

We’d like to thank everyone for the continued support and excitement for 
what we do. We wouldn’t have accomplished everything we have and be on 
the cusp of disrupting the smartphone market if it wasn’t for every 
single one of you.
