So I would have to buy it in the US and even get rid of the sales tax.. Well, if you consider sales taxes, extended warranty (24 months), recycling (WEEE), localized manual, support hotline, lower shipment cost, shipment within 1-3 days etc. as not neccessary, it might look like ripping off... But note that you get more than a plain device when ordering from a reseller than ordering directly in Taiwan or the US. My impression is that people have the tendency to compare low US prices without any add-ons with the EU prices which must include every price component. So, please read the previous mails where it has already been explained. BTW: if you order in the EU from Switzerland, you can reduce the price by the reseller's country VAT (e.g. 19% in Germany). But you may have to pay your Swiss import tax. This may also apply if you order directly from the US depending on your country's customs rules. So I am not sure that you can legally get rid of any sales taxes. Finally, what I really find strange is calling this ripping off. You could also say the same for any product, because they do not sell at 0 USD. There are people who work hard to get devices from Taiwan into your hands. Do you really expect them to be altruistic to do that work for free? Free and Open does not necessarily mean Free Beer. Another area of freedom: we also have free trade in most parts of the world so you are free to choose the best location to buy.

To add my two pennies to this conversation, I don't like getting the shaft any more than anyone else does - here in Rip Off Britain we seem to get it worse than most Europeans (for instance I may consider buying an ATX server case from Germany, as it may well be cheaper, even with the currency exchange shipping, than buying locally). But we must remember that an importer has to tie his own money up in stock (money that could otherwise be earning interest for him) and gamble with the currency exchange rates. If he buys when the dollar is at 1:X and the exchange rate changes disfavourably to 1:Y, then he has to swallow the difference on all his existing stock. A reseller generally provides customer convenience - it's easy to order online from someone local - support and so on, and has to make a profit (otherwise he might as well go close his business and go work for someone else). I can't believe that Phones will be the only place to buy a Moko, so if you don't like it, go shop somewhere else. Maybe if we find in 6 months time that there's no way to buy in Europe without paying 50% more than the dollar price, that's a time to complain, but IMO it's a bit early for whinging.

I believe that a low-power-use auxiliary processor would be EXTREMELY valuable. There are LOTS of things that could run on a slower lower-powered processor, greatly extending battery life. At any time the high-speed high-power-use main processor can be fired up to handle the real heavy lifting. Moving the monitoring functions off the main CPU would be a GREAT improvement. - Add a small lowpower MPU like TI MPS430 to manage everything seamlessly when main CPU is down.

dual mode OLPC style screen - one for the future?
Did anyone think about the dual mode screen for OLPC and whether this can fit with a mobile device... ? Combined with a shaking motion (accelerometer) to change from color to mono of course... This would certainly make using outside more practical on sunny days...(bad experience today with WM6/HTC) Of course this is for the generation to follow Freerunner only JW ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

But it is difficult to get the SansaSoft font. Is it possible to publish the logo with the taglines (open. mobile. free.; Free Your Phone) as EPS, too? Sven Please give us a few days to get this posted. I've asked our designer to handle this.

My experience is that a support hotline helps LOTS when your device dies and you need to get it replaced pronto. But I do agree with you. VAT doesn't help me, either. I don't use any of those silly services (like hospitals and roads) that taxes go to support! I should be exempt from paying for them!! And as for recycling! Why should I care about electronics in landfills leaking lead mercury into the water supply? I won't be around next century to worry about it!! (Instead, you should realise that recycling is a European requirement, and that all EU importers must agree to recycle their products. If one has a dead Moko outside of warranty one will be entitled to return it to the importer for recycling, rather than landfill it - it is likely that Europeans who don't take advantage of this service will soon have to pay to dispose of electronic items; they won't be freely accepted at the local tip).
