Jefe.. This is just my opinion here, but I don't see the Neo1973 to be a mass consumer device, nor do I think that is/was FIC's/OpenMoko's intent. The 1973 is a SW Developer/"Bleeding Edge Adopter" platform. Its a starting place and an incubator for ideas. I would not expect serious drop hardening until the third and fourth generation of the series.
And er, Sean... How's that dang production run going? Got my credit card in my breast pocket just waiting.

I was just looking at my current phone's size to compare it to the reports of the Neo1973, and I dropped my phone. I do this a lot, and the phone has held up. Each new phone I purchase is due to a battery issue only. I have never broke a phone due to it falling (but I have broke an iPod due to the internal drive failing after a fall!) Considering that the Neo1973 has no hard drive, how well should we expect the rest of the hardware to hold up due to falls, drops, etc? -- start using Free software http://www.linux.org http://www.fsf.org It's a matter of Liberty not Price: "Free Software exists to free you from the artificial constraints set by Apple and Microsoft.
