Unfortunately I need to look for a replacement for my Jolla phone, so when I read this announcement I thought this is a wonderful news. But I have quite stomach with their website. For example I didn't knew that it is still possible to have newsletter registration without double-opt-in. :facepalm

We are proud to announce our community collaboration with KDE and Plasma Mobile

Necuno Solutions and KDE collaborate to bring Plasma Mobile to the Necuno Mobile, a truly open source hardware platform

I really hope there will be a mobile device with KDE soon. I am waiting for this for so long already. The Spark/Vivaldi tablet was just amazing and the idea of KDE on mobile device really got me the first time I heard about it. It must have been at CeBIT 2012 where I hold this wonderful small red KDE tablet in my hand and I was really impressed. It felt so common and perfect match. Was a really sad disappointment to see this project fail.
From my experiences in the last 6 years I am quite reserved about Necuno Solutions so far. There is really not much information yet and I think the best guess at the moment is still with Purism Librem 5. But I still have the impression KDE is not more than a 2nd class citizen. They have more than enough to do, to get one stack ready at all at the moment.

BTW, Monday evening is FSFE Fellowship Meeting in Bonn. A Librem 5 dev wants to present a devboard. ;-)
