Why won’t they just start selling it on local e-shops like MediaMarkt in DACH or Alza in the Slovak and Czech republic?
It’d attract them more customers that (if they’ll like the phone) they can sell future phones/products to.
If they want to have reach, they have to be aggressive both with pricing and with availability. I don’t care if it is available at a carrier (they are prohibited to carrier lock devices in the EU anyway) or on Amazon, it has to be everywhere to let the public know that they exist.
And then the snowball effect starts to show as more outlets and influencers start to say positive things about the phone.
Simply put, every privacy/Linux phone company sacrifices user’s shopping comfort with greediness.
