The screen is small but usable. The biggest problem I see is text input but there are some interesting projects and ideas flying around to solve that.
How about in terms of viewing movies or graphics - is that sensible; the pixels are surely minuscule?

    and the ruggedness of the device

I can't say too much about that but it seems pretty solid to me. I read about other people's buttons breaking and that sounds like a realistic issue if you use them a lot. You should get some sort of protector foil for the screen as the danger of damaging it is always big, especially with touchscreens.

    My requirements are:  640x480 (for suitably transcoded movies),

[snip broken up requirements]

Yes, I'm quite aware that the GTA02 meets these requirements, as does the UTC universal. I wouldn't have posted here after all and named those two phones otherwise. The question is, do any _other_ phones also fall into this category? Of course, I do want to run OpenMoko, and will do the necessary work if really required to make it do so if it already runs linux.

And a general note: Your tone is very agressive and demanding. This does nothing but annoy people. I'd recommend you try to be more friendly and tolerant of seemingly unnecessary comments and people will probably be more friendly to you.


With respect, you seem to be a bit confused and your reasoning is backwards. The initial responses I got were clearly trolls (by definition _they_ unfriendly and annoying people). I made an effort to be clear about what I was asking and haven't demanded anything, and the first responders had made no effort to really read what I said. Save your criticism for them. Unfortunately, it just looks like to outsiders that people are getting overly defensive it if looks like I might be trying to criticize OpenMoko/Neo. Let's try and restrict our opinions to what I'm really asked.

Thanks for your feedback.
