No. It wouldn't fit in a freerunner (GTA02). I pointed it out because it is from the same supplier as the 3G module in the GTA04 and appears intended to be interchangable, but is slightly bigger. It would be a way for GoldenDelicious to offer 4G with minimal redesign of the GTA04, or perhaps put them on the GTA04 without modification _IF_ there's enough space. Whether they feel enough people will buy one to make the extra work worthwhile is another matter entirely. > Is this card compatible 3g ? Yes. Follow the link and it shows you which standards and radio bands it works in. Note the limited 4G bands, meaning it won't work with 4G in some countries, a limitation that seems to apply to all 4G products at the moment. > Best regarda > > mparchet > > >> In my opinion, with only a 3g maserboard, the future freerunner will > >> be quickly out of date. > >> > >> Whath's your opinion ? > > > > Any low volume product that isn't backed by a big corporate is going to be > > a bit behind the times simply because the manufacturers won't release > > > > That said, the 4G issue looks like a relatively easy problem to solve. > > Getting the economics to work seems to be the biggest hurdle at the > > moment.> > >> Best regards > >> > >> mparchet > > > > ___ > > Openmoko community mailing list > > community@lists.openmoko.org > > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
