Just to be 100% sure about this, could you possibly answer explicitly: will the GTA04 board fit in a Neo 1973 (GTA01) case, with the antenna, display, speaker, battery, etc, all working? Yes. The cases are almost identical. Only difference is the white speakerbox. It carries two speakers for the GTA01 and just one in the GTA02 (plus a hole for a WLAN module). Since we don't have the modular WLAN approach in the GTA04, we could add back the contact points for the second speaker. But it is not tested in detail. Does anyone of the Early Adopters have installed the GTA04 board in a GTA01?

Well, the picture isn't that black and white. We are curently preparing the production of the next batch of GTA04 boards.

I have no idea how long it will need, but when finished, we will have the boards plus cases. So that you can choose to take you GTA01 or GTA02 case or a new one. The camera will be an optional module for self-install since not everyone wants to have one.

If it's using widely used connectors (HFL/uFL probably) you can get gps and multi-band gsm antennae quite easily in various shapes and sizes, so you should be able to find one to fit your case. Finding a suitable speaker for your case shouldn't be much harder. When they start producing their own case I imagine it will have matching parts supplied, but they might not be as good for your case as the alternatives. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
