Heck yeah, I'll buy one. Seems like a great phone to hack on. Shame it's so cost prohibitive for most people right now though.

There will be more devices supported in the future. It had to start with flagships because Qualcomm doesn't yet provide MTE for their lower end SoC variants. Even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 didn't have MTE, only the higher end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 which was a hard blocker for Motorola Signature 2026 support. However, there's a lot of other stuff which had to get done and the extra time was needed regardless.
