I FULLY understand the fact that the cost of the phone is high and that's
the point. But did you read the rest of the email where I state the costs
is too high for most and justified the lower cost with perks and better
marketing which would have made up the rest of the cost and perhaps
actually make it a viable reality?

Kinda worries me that all you took from my mail was one point and
regurgitating the same thing everyone else has said but did not look or
comment at how it actually COULD have worked with my suggestions.

It's not going to get funded, we must accept that and look at why it didn't
succeed.

I did some calculations and with enough people donating for the perks I
laid out at $700 it's actually plausible. I am not even being overly
optimistic in my sums.
