I'm just venting steam. I'm not entirely unhappy with the phone: just a little frustrated, since I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase with my wife... not to mention my iPhone-loving friends. There were a number of sites, like Engadget and a few others, that were essentially implying that the Freerunner was ready for general use (as opposed to the Neo1973, which was strictly a developer's phone). So, I enthusiastically ordered it, only to realize that it's still, very much, a developer's phone. And not just a developer's phone, but a *super hardcore* developer's phone. I wouldn't mind learning to program for it, but even that's hard to do, since there are a handful of competing openmoko software architectures that aren't really interoperable. Anyway, I guess I'll wait for the software to catch up to the hardware. Meanwhile, I'll keep it tucked away in the closet.
