horifically basic handset design issues that need to be addressed in future
FIC/OpenMoko hardware designs that looking at the iPhone makes painfully
obvious:
1) Shape. The hemisphere on the bottom of the GTA01/02 phone will not
allow the phone to remain upright in a breast pocket. It will always cant
to one side or the other. The bottom needs to be pretty much squared off.
Doing my best to not sound "Pissed off" or "Disgruntled" here...

Unfortunately this is half the story.
Whatever I ever kept in my pocket fell out and broke if my pocket was
not buttoned at the top.
Glasses phones pdas ... you name it.
The requirement to have your pocket buttoned up is way more important.
So the requirement that it must be flat at the bottom is superficial.
I prefer the aesthetic look of the Neo and there is nothing more
comfortable to handle than a symmetric design.
Point in case, a classical rounded edge shaped bar of soap is the
easiest to handle....Square soap never worked for me.
