Feels like vapourware.

THE LINUX PHONE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Makes no mention of a reliable modem so it's certainly not the Linux phone I've been waiting for. What good is 32GB of RAM in a phone if I can't use it as a phone?

If this was their second try, after the first one had had an unreliable modem, it would make sense to advertise the modem as reliable... but that's not the situation they are in.

It makes sense to advertise the modem as reliable given that there are no phones at all with reliable modems under GNU/Linux. The absence of such an advertisement means the modem is almost certainly not reliable.
