I too regret missing that meeting, I just could not make it. :-( I'm looking forward to rev2, but I need to see and hold one of these before shelling out that kind of money. That's why I was so eager to get to the meeting. As far as "work to do" -- I don't care about that. I want a device that has the three radios (GSM, Wifi, BT) I care about, a decent screen and processor, and is open. OpenMoko gives me access to what I need -- right from the bootloader to the calculator app -- and the rest I'll figure out. I'm so sick to the teeth with proprietary garbage being shoved up my ass by the carriers and the manufacturers. Give me something I can twist and mangle into whatever it is *I* need and I'm there. The first OpenMoko phones have one of the most craptacular physical designs I've ever seen, but maybe a little more research will show me a phone that OpenMoko will run on (again, from bootloader to calc app) and will not make me cringe at the wasted space. :-) -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
