As Marcel said, I believe it's a hardware issue - the touch-screen
device itself needs to support multiple touch points. The one on the
freerunner, if there are 2 points being pressed at once, for example,
returns the geometric average point between them.

From what I understand, Getting a cardinal point-equivalent _heading_
is easy with GPS, but if you are stationary and spinning, it will not
update.

I agree with the other few posters on this thread so far that the

somewhat difficult to read.

I guess people could get it airbrushed if it was a matte plastic case,
maybe shipped with primer already painted on it.
Seems like a lot of work, but it would really fit well with the whole
customization thing.
Maybe FIC could start selling DIY at-home plastic injection molding kits, too ;)

Well, the mass market phone itself won't be available for a long time.
The next date should be the release of the HARDWARE of the final
phone, but shipping with incomplete (developer) software. If you want
a final, polished, stable phone, it's going to be some time now.

It's about time this decision has been made. I'm sick and tired of
