Way to chime in at the tail end. It's obvious with Dale's recent emails that he's frustrated that nobody was listening or taking him seriously. I witnessed his contributions and willingness to provide feedback, where he was met with semantics and useless responses that then pushed him to publicise his opinion and his situation. All still very obvious if you have paid any attention. You're love for your device and your 'opinion' in no way solves the problem that he had no outlet for recouping on a falsely advertised device. Our laws entitle us to have our money refunded in such a situation but this does not transcend international borders. I'd like to know where it is exactly you'd voice your dissent in such a situation. I'm sure Dale can present you with an audit trail of emails, trac tickets and the like, long before any of this actually started publicly. To top it off, I reckon Dale would have assimilated (now that's a nasty word over here) had Lorn admitted to the failings of QTE and been willing to agree that people have differing opinions on the software's 'usefulness', none of this would have ever happened. The one thing that should never occurred, and I imagine there are a few people that agree here, is that the FR should never have been advertised as a phone. Potential to become a phone maybe. This marketing oversight would have saved a lot of trouble and time. I say oversight because the people who are supporting openmoko really don't care whether it's a phone out of the box or not.
