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.

Subject: Durability of the Neo1973?


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?
