I've been following this and am intrigued, but the combo of the high price, crowdfunding, and lack of even a functioning prototype to show off has me skeptical enough to not throw down money in advance for one.
If it actually comes out and they don't go bankrupt during the design/manufacturing process, and if the phone is actually good, then I'd definitely consider buying one. I like the concept a lot.
