Dear Alan : I totally agree with you . FIC is also an operator in Taiwan . I certainly understand the thinking / restriction of Telecom operators. Regards Ming J.

OpenMoko and FIC's Neo1973 are the seeds that will democratize and dramatically accelerate the evolution of mobile computing on this planet. No longer will we all patiently wait for the next handset release from the major manufacturers, only to be dissapointed once again by carrier hobbled features, clunky and clueless user interfaces and forced non-integration with the rest of our personal or business compu-spheres. The "Regular User" will follow shortly after the "Cathedral and the Bazaar" programmers like you and I scratch our itches and deliver the applications that really solve human problems and end the limitations and annoyances that the establishment "Handset and Carrier" complex cannot and will not solve because their shareholders are more important than thier customers. As for me, I am excited about the amazing potiential that this first feature set affords. Every time I think about it for even just a few minutes, I come up with a new idea for software for this platform. WiFi and a camera at this point would only make my head explode.
