I’m not disinterested, though $350 is a little steep ($450 if you’re not an ‘early bird’). Ideally it would be bootloader unlockable and rootable as well. I would probably use it like a PDA of old.
They can’t claim carrier compatibility yet before they even source the parts. (They’re in Japan right now sourcing Chinese parts, allegedly, and only have renders thus far.) Let alone until they have a working prototype to test against fyi.
Carriers may very well not certify the device due to compatibility issues. Or they won’t be able to afford the certification process.

The phone still has a 3D printed shell in the video. Doesn’t look promising.
