Something is seriously wrong if they can't present a working unit the same

I wanted to make something more formal first..but let me just say a few
things now.
We had some problems with the hardware in a revision I had hoped would be
final. This set us back about month. So we're looking at moving the first
phones out in February now. I can promise you there is nothing "seriously
wrong."
Been there. Can feel your pain, man.
Sure:
Standard Kit:
* 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 (mm)
* 2.8" VGA (480x640) TFT Screen
* Samsung s3c2410 SoC @ 266 MHz
* Global Locate AGPS chip
* Ti GPRS (2.5G not EDGE)
* Unpowered USB 1.1
* Touchscreen
* micro-sd slot
* 2.5mm audio jack
* 2 additional buttons
* 1200 mAh battery (charged over USB)
* 128 MB SDRAM
* 64 MB NAND Flash
* Bluetooth (yes bluetooth!)
Huzzah! Color me *stoked* at this point. I was looking forward to the
phone, but the 'icing on the cake' that is bluetooth has me downright
giddy.
I work with a couple mac-fans that were ogling the iPhone the other
day. Slick piece of equipment, that. They loaded the press page on the
Neo and the iPhone and were flipping back and forth - the funny thing is
that they want to wait six month or so after the devices go on sale, to
let Apple work out the kinks. While on the one hand I wish Jobs & co.
much success with their device, my needs will be amply filled by the Neo.
The punch line? One of the guys at work joked about starting a pool to
bet on how soon someone will have a Linux kernel booting the iPhone.. ;-)
We have two more kits that will be available (in addition to the standard
kit): A "Car Kit" and a "Hacker's Lunchbox."
The latter is quite cool. I'll tell you more about it soon.
Looking forward to that one.
