You're asking for something I can't imagine you're going to get. You want someone from FIC to give you a guarantee of how a third-party is going to behave -- they're no more going to take liability for how Cingular or T-Mobile is going to behave than Cingular or T-Mobile will take liability for telling you how the NEO will behave. The reason you can get that with phones sold through Cingular or T-Mobile is that there is a contract between those companies, and if Cingular makes a promise regarding a Nokia phone and the phone doesn't do it, somewhere behind the scenes Nokia will owe Cingular money. The best you can get from a third-party phone is "the phone conforms to the standards. The GSM companies say they conform to the standards. If they're telling the truth (and we haven't made a mistake) then the phone will work." If that isn't good enough for you -- if you need Cingular or T-Mobile's guarantee that the phone will work -- then you should buy your phone through Cingular or T-Mobile. No, I'm nobody official and this isn't any sort of official word from openmoko or FIC. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
