Lapho Noma ngubani o-ode iLibrem 5 bazothola i-imeyili ebazisa ukuthi iyiphi impahla ezothunyelwa nokuthi iluphi usuku lomkhumbi abahlelelwe ngalo.
Ukufana nemboni yesoftware kulula ukuyiqonda. Eqinisweni, into okufanele uyibone lapha ukuthi abanye babathengi bazothola izinhlobo ze-alpha (noma i-beta) womkhiqizo wokugcina, ngokuya ngenqwaba abayikhethayo.
Kepha njengoba inkampani inika abathengi ithuba lokukhetha i-batch yabo futhi ngokomthetho, noma yimuphi umthengi ofuna ukuthola umkhiqizo ophelele uzokhetha i-Fir, kungabonakala njengendlela ecashile yokumemezela ukuhlehliswa okusha kwalokhu kwethulwa.

Manje kufanele silinde izibuyekezo zokuqala mayelana neLibrem 5 ngabasebenzisi abafuna ukuthola le batch yokuqala ngemuva kokulinda isikhathi eside.
Futhi ukuthi iLibrem 5 ibingenaso isiqalo esilula iNgisho nangemva kokuthola impumelelo yezezimali epulatifomu yokubuyiselwa kwemali yabantu abaningi yePurism ngentuthuko yayo, umkhankaso wokuqongelela imali weLibrem 5 umemezele endaweni yesikhulumi ekupheleni kuka-Agasti uphele ngemali engaphezulu kwe- $ 2 million uma kuqhathaniswa ne- $ 1.5 million edingekayo.
Nokho, ngemuva konyaka wokubambezeleka, amayunithi okuqala wedivayisi ekugcineni ahanjiswa kubaxhasi abakhulu bomqondo.
Abaqambi babeke le divayisi njengokubonakaliswa kwesithembiso sokulawula ngokuphelele umsebenzisi ku-smartphone yabo.
Le phrojekthi isuselwa ekuveleleni kusuka kumsunguli yenkampani ukuvikela ukuxhumana kwakho ngocingo nezingane zakho. Lesi mhlawumbe ngesinye sezizathu esenza umkhankaso weLibrem 5 wokuqongelela imali uphawulwe ngokungena kukaPurism kubambiswano nenkampani ebizwa ngeMatrix.

Kuze kube nguJulayi 31 odlule, i-smartphone ibitholakala nge-presale ngentengo yama- $ 649. Ngenkathi manje, abantu abahlose ukuthola lo mkhiqizo kufanele bakhokhe ama- $ 699, okuyizindleko ezinyuka kuphela ngama- $ 50 okungabalulekanga kangako kwabaningi.
