Seconded. Regarding the software: It's awesome, and progressing very well Regarding the hardware: The Freerunner gods must be looking down on me. I've purchased 4 FRs (3 for work, 1 personal). Currently there are two sitting in data centers monitoring our "critical infrastructure," one sitting next to my home server, and yet another sitting on my office desk. These devices fill very small niches.
Anyways, onto the bad: I have avoided the GSM buzz bug, #666, etc... The only bugs I have experienced are the SDHC card failure (Stupid, crappy glamo, we really should bitch out Smedia..., see below for contact info), and the GSM echo. I gotta say, well done.
