Amen! People are jumping to the conclusion that they will have to return their phones, etc, when the problem isn't even fully understood yet. It sounds like it can be at least worked around in software, and perhaps fully addressed without ever having to open the case. The fact that user-applied hardware fixes are even being considered is impressive to me. What other manufacturer would contemplate allowing such tinkering? Another point to be made is just like I can run a brand new cutting edge linux distro on 1990's hardware (some hardware anyway), we can expect current openmoko phones to be supported into the future, even after newer hardware is released. That's part of the beauty of open source. You won't get that kind of support with conventional smartphones. I have older smartphones with software bugs that will never be addressed, because there's simply no money in it for the manufacturer. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
