Unfortunately the GSM stack is not completely open (OpenStack may change that), it's pricey (but worth it) and it's lower powered than other Smart phones. That said it's actually a very nice phone with good reception and sound. I've got some 3D printable cases designs for it somewhere - PirateBay may have more (nothing illegal involved). http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04referer=Neo%20Freerunner Kind regards -- Iceweasel/Firefox/Chrome/Chromium/Iceape/IE extensions for finding answers to questions about Debian:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
