In my opinion and that of the people I have on the other end of the line: lower quality then one might expect for a modern day telephone. E.g. for business conversation or important calls that need normal quality, I have to use another telephone. when people ask me what the buzz is, I feel reluctant to tell it is an Openmoko device because of the bad publicity. I'm trusting OpenMoko will come forth with a proper solution. > Helge Hafting > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
