This has nothing to do with any devices made by anyone else, but for the record: 1) I've never used an iphone let alone owned one. 2) Every Nokia I've owned has worked flawlessly. 3) Never used a samsung let alone owned one. 4) Will never buy a Sony Ericsson phone again - Ever. As the 02 goes into production we know that the graphics will be limited, we might know the reasons, but that doesn't make is easier to swallow. It's also apparent that some of the lessons on the gta01 haven't made it to the 02, which is fair enough - but the 03 needs to see those fixed. > > Do you live on planet earth or some magical fairy land where you snap > your fingers and you get everything instantly? Mmm... I'm trying to work out if you just being an arse or you have a question in there. I'd like you to point out where I said anything about getting anything instantly, with a click of my fingers. > > It sure sounds like you aren't interested in the "openness" of the moko > but more of a consumer device ... yes / no?

I'm suggesting that moving into the future may require bigger steps and not baby steps. If we have to wait for the GTA99 before a device that can compete with even a basic phone because of tiny modifications for each generation then I'm telling you straight up, I'm not buying one of each of the 99 devices and I wont be alone in that. -- Andy / ScaredyCat _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
