hi everyone, i REALLY REALLY love this device. it has a great design and the concept of a free and open platform really convinces me ( i am one of those people who try to convince others that flash is evil because its proprietry and pay an extra 60€ to get an "mp3player" with open-hardware sent from the us to germany ;) ). being able to connect my bsd and linux boxes to the phone and hacking on the phone is awesome, BUT i need wlan and voip functionality. this is one thing an open platform should defintely provide, because it makes the phone useable and affordable without 2-year-contracts and simlocks. to explain, i get my internet through wifi, my hardphones are all voip capable, my neighbourhoood is covered with this net and my university has wifi. it wouldnt make sense for me to buy a phone that doesnt support SIP....
unfortunately there are no working free (as in freedom) phones out there that do that.... so i wanted to a nokia e60 or e70 as these are the only ones that actually support sip.... ...until i came upon your website some days ago :) when will (will there?) the first openmoko devices be shipped that support wifi? i cant wait too long so please be honest.... if you say not before summer next year, i'll get an e60 now and try to sell it a year or two ;) thanks for your work/plans greetings hannes hauswedell p.s: if you achieve half of what your promising, its gonna be a revolution ;) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
