From what I’ve read and listened to, they’re misleading in this report when they say all crowdfunding backer devices have been fulfilled/delivered.
- As someone who requested a refund, I can confirm to have neither the phone nor the refund :(
  
  I feel that pain, but probably not to the same degree. I've backed over 300 campaigns on Kickstarter and Gamefound. I've had around 8 that didn't fulfill and didn't give a refund -- somewhere in the vicinity of $500-800 worth overall. It's maddening when it feels like our money was either stolen or at best, wasted.
  
  True, i kinda only ordered it to support mobile Linux development, however, by now I think there would have been much better places to do this than this company.
  
  I'm sorry you're having to deal with that -- especially for a technology we'd all like to see in that space to provide good competition to the main two. Thanks for your efforts to push that forward!
