The fact that I didn't answer to that mail doesn't mean I didn't read it. Should I now say you obviously didn't follow your own annoucements and didn't read the topic you set on IRC because you said the phone would come out in January? But the point is not to get into a fight with you. GPS on a phone is still a unique selling point, as is the vga screen. People will be adore to have GPS in summer season while travelling. Publishing it in September is missing out a whole year. The competitors wont sleep and there will be at least 20 phones with a vga screen and GPS next year. The concept of Openembedded is just magnificent and currently it is a huge window of opportunity. If you get the production line up and running, just get the bloody phone out. Somebody posted about the limofoundation today. What do you think Motorola, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung and NTT are doing? Watching FIC outgrowing them? It is the most perfect opportunity for Linux (call it GNU or not) to be the market leader. Stop talking about releasing early, just do it. All that is needed is a dialing application.
