This looks a lot like IMEI blacklisting to me, I can't imagine any other reason. In the states, I assume the FCC is the authority to contact with such problems, and that's what I would do in this case, because the Neo is FCC approved. > > Sitting in another part of the world, this sounds like complete rubbish > to me. > Massive network upgrades put phones out of use - here changes from one > frequency to another, or from analog to digital. Upgrades never put phones out of use as upgrades always keep backwards compatibility. There have been several upgrades on GSM networks all over the world, yet every GSM phone that's compliant should still work, because the standard is still valid (even though old devices might not be able to use new features). So there is no reason why the Neo wouldn't be supported anymore. Of course networks get replaced by newer standards which are non-compliant, but that can hardly be called an upgrade of an existing network, because it always will be a completely new network. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
