This is what I mean by demand. I don't think it is a good idea to encourage
people to buy phones with non-free software or any phone if ones doesn't have
one already. Although for those of us who are already stuck getting such
phones it makes sense to shoot for furthering the projects working on such a
device.
Again- I have a phone coming that is unrelated to this. I'll probably see how
it works out with Replicant and maybe we will go forward from there. Maybe
not. We will have to see.
If somebody can propose a good argument not to do this from a free software
perspective I'd like to hear it.
