Shawn This is a very difficult issue. . Let me Nutshell it.
1. We have a custom charger that can fast charge the phone. 2. Standard usb chargers will work just fine. Some people want the custom charger and they want access to custom replacements Some people want the custom charger and they will live with a standard replacement Some people philosophically believe we shouldn't do custom chargers. So, I get to sort through this. But to begin with the early adopters, the developers, Who buy the phone first, will get a fast charger. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Rutledge Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 1:11 PM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update On Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 9:44 AM, steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The STANDARD box contents will be a Phone and Battery.

If the phone can be charged with a Motorola charger, I'm personally fine with saving some money and you leaving it out of the box. (And the chargers can be had cheaply on ebay etc.) But if it requires a special one then I would want to see the charger included. And a car charger must be made available, too. A desktop charger would be nice to have but I guess the Nokia one will work, right? Requiring the phone to be charged only from a PC is not practical when you expect this phone to be for (advanced) users too, not just developers, right? Likewise if the connector is to be something other than mini-usb, including a USB cable might be a good idea. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
