Hello there, I am just a random developer, not something in open source or linux world trough. As many developers over the world I would love to own a version of Neo1973 phone, with stable hardware and usable software.
I understand there are many stumbling blocks to be overcome by the OpenMoko and Neo1973 developments teams to bring those products to the consumer markets, but because I am not a consumer I am willing to take some risks. I understand GTA00 and GTA01 will not ever be a usable platform due to hardware issues. I understand GTA02v4 had some bugs found, and so GTA02v5 design is considered. Also I understand that the OpenMoko platform is currently not a very stable condition, but somewhat usable even from the GUI. I would love to own GTA02vX after its hardware has passed some QA, even if its not guaranteed to find all the hardware bugs. Waiting for a consumer release seems a little long for me. I would like to propose asking the openmoko.com to add a preorder form for stable developer hardware platform. Something what they would consider a release candidate. This would allow for developers just like me to finally use their credit cards, and reduce the amount of pooling required. Regards, Ignas
