Guys
the freerunner reportedly has gps problems, so I'd wait for them to turn
the crank and do a minor hardware update... it sounds like an antenna issue.
also, when it comes to open devices, people (like me) tend to consider
the software a work in progress that will ultimately match what the
hardware is capable of... it just may take a while for the software to
come together.
I've been itching to get one, and currently I'm scraping up enough
non-bill-money to afford one (And I went to the SLLUG meeting where a
mobile developer had a Neo1973 on-hand), but I'm not hopeful that I can
replace my aging Nokia phone quite yet.
maybe if it's to replace an older phone it would be ok. I've been
working on the neo they sent me and although the software has improved a
lot, especially with the qtopia suite, the choice to use a gprs radio
for data (~40kbps) rules it out as my day-to-day phone.
It sounds like they could have put in an edge radio (~150kbps) but a 3g
radio (500kbps+) has more licensing issues than they're willing to deal
with.
