Re: 2008.08 - First Impressions
Thanks for your impression. Really helpful in deciding NOT to install this. I am pretty amazed you claim that the OM team have made a big leap forward and also saying this version still has issues with the basic functionality of the phone.. Power management, calling, sms and intuitive entering of text without stylus should be the main focus. The rest can follow later (even GPS). Of course this is not a fact, it is just my opinion. > Overall, I think that openmoko have made a *big* leap forward with > 2008.08, keep up the great work! > > > -Dale > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > = Aconcagua Expedition with Alpine Ascents Aconcagua Expedition with America's Guide Service.

Re: 2008 WTF??
2008 was launched like this: William Lai wrote: " Here is what you can expect: - A stable and working phone stack realized by using Qtopia. - A new and flexible window manager [Illume] that broadens our support for the different graphic libraries, including GTK+ and more. - The whole system software has been reworked which leads to a very fast and reliable suspend & resume, LED control and power management. " It is not stable, software is not fast, and power management is not reliable. Announcing something this way leads to disappointments. I have real doubts about the some Quality Assurance aspects of this team. Also I don't see real dedication and vision to get rid of bugs and produce something stable and usable. It looks like there is more effort in bringing us bling. I think bling is something that can be created by the community itself. = Trade Gold ETFs Learn About Three Options for trading Gold ETFs.

Non dev wants to buy Neo1973
Hi all, I'm really interested in buying a Neo1973. Unfortunately I'm not a developer so will not be able to add a lot more value to this nice device. I have seen it is possible for a non dev to buy the phone, but I have 2 questions before taking the plunge. 1. Could hardware be changed in the consumer version? Is the dev version also intended to 'tweak' the hardware? 2. Would I be "stealing" a phone away from a developer and by doing that slow down development? Really looking forward to this phone, hopefully I will be able to use an open phone soon. Being one of the first to own one and see development progress would be great.

Re: Non dev wants to buy Neo1973
Thanks for your answers. Don't know what I will do. Could be missing great hardware improvements if I buy too early, but I would be missing a couple of months of excitement as well. Tough choice :) Will wait for the official announcements, and decide after that. > - Original Message - > From: "Mikko Rauhala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: community@lists.openmoko.org > Subject: Re: Non dev wants to buy Neo1973 > Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 12:52:11 +0300 > > > la, 2007-06-30 kello 17:24 +0800, ted braak kirjoitti: > > 1.

Nederlanders! Openmoko needs more attention
There is a forumthread started on the tweakers forum http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1231336 Very popular site for ICT news. Maybe a good idea to add some comments to get some more attention. I've searched on this site and there were no threads started, so according to the tweakers forum the openmoko project doesn't exist.
