2008/6/8 rakshat hooja [EMAIL PROTECTED]: We also got a camera on GTA03. cheers jOERG Any specs of the camera. Please go for good quality optics and maybe 3x optical zoom (the neo is thick enough i guess :-) rather that higher mega pixels on a cheap sensor. Except for the SE K750/800/850i series and Nokia N95 series (and some Japanese phones like my Sharp 903) I have not seen a camera phone where the photos are usable when transfered to the computer or printed. In most cases the camera is just there to add a feature to feed the public coolness factor so the price can be increased. My Nokia 6280 has a terrific 2 megapixel camera. Other that the extremely wideangle lens, the pictures are of quality approaching my Fuji s5500 in daylight. I should comment about the earlier message regarding not including a lanyard: I have drilled holes in past phones to attach lanyards. I think that a lanyard on the bottom left of the phone (when the phone is in the talk position on the ear) is essential. I certainly hope that the GTA03 will either have a dedicated lanyard mount at that position, or enough meat in the plastic to allow me to drill my own.

I would propose to take a look at this before any case design: http://www.icontrolpad.com/ Basically its a dock for IPhone. So the idea is to allow the case to be integrated with other electronics. This allows for many cool applications, where Neo can be a brain of some system, that has additional controls, more power, external interfaces, body of a robot... etc ;) Regards, Breakable ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Is case design changing for GTA03?
Wow, that's quite awesome! I read around a little and it seems to be made by CraigX who is also behind the Pandora and is interested in selling Openmoko phones in the UK. So getting him to make a variant of this design for future (or present?) Openmoko phones might actually be a realistic possibility!

Re: Is case design changing for GTA03?
Well, with Bluetooth it would have to have it's own power source (or be connected to one) so USB sounds most reasonable. It might even contain an USB hub and expose a number of full size USB ports, maybe including Y-cable functionality for charging while being host.
