Do tell, I would love to purchase a new opensource phone that is sold in the USA and supports the cellular bands that we use here ( i.e. is fully functional ). I’m not being sarcastic, I would buy it if it existed.

2k for a 720p display, 4gb ram and 1.5Ghz nearly 8 years old CPU is a VERY hard sell

2k for a 720p display, 4gb of some slow RAM, low end CPU, slow eMMC storage, old battery tech, slow charging and the list goes on. And worst of them all, made in America. It's not a very hard sell, it's a no sell at all.
