I need to correct you in this case: The cheapest UMTS-Abdroid is the Huawei Ideos X3 if I did not miss anything. It comes with Gingerbread 2.3, GPS, Sensors (see http://www.inside-handy.de/handys/huawei_u8510-ideos-x3/2432_allgemein.html) for a price of 100 EUR. Of course it is absolutely not open and in my opinion the GTA04 does not compete against it, but still it is a very usable phone for little money. However it is clear, that you will never be able to compete against those prices unless you build a far bigger number of phones. The most people who seriously consider buying a GTA04 will probably spend more money if the get all the extra features. The GTA04 is not and will never be a mass market product:. -- n...@el-hennig.de Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology: There's always one more bug. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
