Hello what's left of Openmoko community,

understanding that one or more shops used to perform this rework

Further on the subject of FCC type approval or lack thereof, your
change log at:

lists "Pass the PTCRB certification" under moko5. Does it imply that
there was no PTCRB certification and thus no FCC approval number prior

The difference is that for GSM/2G there exists a practically usable

The person I was refuting did not say that the new fw is not based on

If people do desire to see new production of verbatim GTA02 clones
that differ from FIC-made ones only in the manufacturing dates and the
identity of the manufacturer, and someone steps forward to fund such,

Take your money? Which product are you seeking to buy? An FCDEV3B
board? I am hoping to have those boards available for retail sale by
the end of September, i.e., only one month of waiting

Please cite at least one physical threat within the last 4 y, i.e.,
later than 2013-08, after the FreeCalypso social justice project

Your original licensed firmware has bugs in it; the updated firmware
has some of these bugs fixed. Want examples? Here are just a few in
no particular order:

Hello Om community,
I have a question about the slightly peculiar format in which Om's
official mokoN firmwares emit their ID strings, and whether or not the
modem-interfacing software in QtMoko/SHR/AoF (any others?) requires
this peculiar ID response format, or if the more standard form would

Hello Openmoko community,
For those of you who no longer have a GTA02 or never had one to begin
with, and you wish these devices were still produced and readily
