I'm very happy in reading this! FSO actually is the only real thingh that lets survive the idea of open phones. With a rock solid framework taking care of all the underlying dirty work, writing some GUI interfaces is only a matter of time and may be done by community. About hardware, to have an usable phone we need a well supported hardware with a good kernel and good chip's firmwares (e.g. gsm). In my experience was that the problem with the freerunner, in one year I spent huge time on the device and encountered a lot of problems, sd card partition table corruption, problems with suspend/resume, WSOD, NSOD, glamo mci spare problems, gsm hopping, my vodafone card was not recognized before the latest gsm firmware updates, and many others that did not let me use the freerunner as a daily phone. That's the reason I really HOPE that OM will continue at least in kernel and low-level firmware developing, after all a stable Freerunner may be not so bad, and may be selled for a long time, funding OM and growing the community, and this is very important! Thanks for your effort! Best Regards Nicola
