That's not what he meant and you know it. He meant more useable space on the screen. The easier the phone is to use the better. Although halting work on the GTA02 is completely ludicrous. Qtopia found a great way to utilize the space as does OM2007.2. Only thing they need to figure out is text input and they'll be golden.

In any case, the neo isn't about schnazz, it's about freedom. Kind of like PC hardware vs mac hardware. PC hardware is open and awesome- you can pick from 500 different motherboards, gfx cards, vendors, etc., unlike the apple-only mac, but pc hardware isn't as schnazzy looking as macs. IMO the neo isn't and should be trying to be schnazzy, I think you're wrong about matching up to the iphone's look. Although I do hope the neo comes in colors, that would be appropriate to the freedom thing. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
