I understand where you are coming from with the OpenMoko's philosophy being the Neo's strong point but I just don't feel that that's enough to draw in the average consumer and the Neo is the perfect device for the tech savvy user, however tech savvy users are a large minority. I also hear you on the fact that a majority of help desks are full of people that don't actually know what they are doing and are just trouble shooting from a list. It would be a smart decision to advertise to both average and advanced users however I think the Neo sells itself to the advanced group. Whatever man, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I have to go outside and enjoy the rain now.
I completely agree. My idea is to make two advertisment campains: one on "maisntream media": maybe tv, maybe radio, flyre, poster, newspapers, wathever. This ads would be something like: "The free phone, OpenMoko. The only one with ...." "The OpenMoko: now with builtin navigator" and so on. Don't even THINK of using "based on Linux Kernel 2.6.xx" or "With powerful ssh acess" Then I would make a second advertisement campain on the net: most users on the net ARE the (a bit) advanced users: here you con make the "powerd by Linux" and "The power of Open Source" ads. And then a third series, wich simply describes the crude facts, for example "With powerful ssh acess", on thenical online newspapers, or something in that way. Because the opneMoko IS Userfriendly fro Non-techies, and IS ALSO extreamly powerful for the geeks. Also a bit of "local ads" would be good: in small, local newspapers, or small, local radio stations. They are cheaper and you know the audience and can create "custom" ads. -- My corner of the web: http://ramsesoriginal.wordpress.com My dream, my world: http://abenu.wordpress.com
