Hi I have been tracking this project for almost an year now. But its still not in shape where I can buy it. Two things that I absolutely need are:
Good SMS subsystem EDGE support Without these I wont be able to use this as my primary phone. I would have loved to buy it but seriously my personal budget doesn't allow me to have this as a secondary phone. I currently own a motorokr E6 just for the love of Linux but the problem with moto people are they don't release anything Ezx sources - no sign and kernel they keep on postponing. My dream neo is: OMAP3530 http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/omap3530.html I see lot of benefits from this shift Camera interface Two USB one of them OTG On chip 2D/3D accelerator -- I didn't get much info about glamo 3362 still TI looks better Host of other goodies that you can look in the page And I don't see drivers to be a very big problem, seems like we will get another community working simultaneously http://beagleboard.org/ and TI is in mood of cooperating in this venture. Camera - atleast 2mp -- A camera which can support addon lenses and filter (as suggested by someone in wiki wishlist) will be awesome Bigger screen 3.5 or 4" EDGE please if not 3G USB 2.0 OTG that will automatically come with OMAP3530 A smaller stylus - this stylus is good but not for every one please provide support in the casing for a smaller stylus as well Rectangular casing -- the lower portion I think can be easily flattened and upper portion can also be done with some effort though. May be a recess in PCB for GPS antenna than putting it on top of it 3.5mm jack -- my current phone has one Better battery may be some 2000 or 2300mAh will be cool even if it makes it a little fatter. A device like this must have good battery backup The kind of framework the project is going towards I would like more RAM may be 512MB LPDDR Last thing I want is expansion option(this one also is there in wiki wishlist). My idea is to use a ne connector that internally uses USB. The device can be given to the consumer with a dummy module fitted that just gives the mini-usb But possibilities are limitless -- removable camera -- user may buy the type of camera he wants from several modules -- extra SD card stack -- may be extra battery -- special purpose radios -- mini projector -- projection keyboard -- HDD -- finger print scanner -- smartcard reader -- Wi-Max or any other future tech -- I won't mind if somebody puts a extra processor in removable module :-) (forget the last one) And one more thing I browsed the wiki but couldn't find info about the status and code of SMS subsystem. I would like to contribut in that. Not the python one, Standard C/C++ one. I don't know python :-( Thanks & Regards, Pritam Ghanghas _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
