Hi, I thought the target was to have a new oss phone with more modern or more common hardware, and since FR users are used to hardware patches :)... The FR users could become OP users with a special gsm/umts patch. But you are right the OP is a gaming console so it is also lacking some other features, like the accelerometer and the gps receiver. But there are two sdhc slots - maybe there is a sdio gps receiver.
