hi, has anyone come accross this yet? http://www.geeksphone.com/en/
it looks like an affordable mid-range android phone and it officially supports replacing the OS (to install cyanogenmod for example) this is also the second model of the company, so this is not likely to be a fly-by-night operation, even though it seems a bit of a rush operation: http://blog.geeksphone.com/2011/04/espanol-el-nacimiento-de-un-movil-o-una-aventura-humana-es-largo/ (it's translated to english by a human) anyways, i am interested in getting one, and i am looking for other opinions. i am basically looking for an affordable phone that has good free software support. so far the best phone with free software support was the samsung galaxy s: http://laforge.gnumonks.org/weblog/2010/08/21/ the geeksphone zero is about half the price. this month introductory price is euro 179 (S$321), plus euro 50 (S$90) for shipping. since we are outside of europe we get to skip VAT which brings down the price to euro 152 (S$273). i asked them, and they can ship two phones per box, cutting shipping in half, so two phones can be had for S$320 each! i don't think i can find anything comparable in singapore, not even used. thoughts? greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
