Hi Guys, slightly off-topic, but I would appreciate your thoughts on this....
This was inspired by the news of the G1 phone being released in the UK on the 30th of October (http://tinyurl.com/48s4gp). Some questions; * How free is the OS really?? I know it has a Linux based kernel and will be open source (?), but with the 100% free OpenMoko, would OM be better? * Is it worth tying into a contract with t-mobile (also phone will be sim-locked), ie - does this go against what freedom is about, or is it a necessary evil? (like proprietary drivers/firmware) * Better to wait for the G2, G3 etc etc due to maturity of OS and better hardware? or cooler to be an early adopter - assumable it will be 'easily' upgradeable on the OS side. * And the ultimate question... black or white? Cheers :-) --Michael _________________________________ Michael Fletcher Visit my website here - http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog Interested in Linux?
