I wasn't worried about the phone not being upgradeable, only that they would delay release until the software is ready because they keep touting it as the "mass market release." The only reason I'm waiting for the 2nd release before I buy is that the higher speed processor, 2D video accel (yes, 2D, not 3D), and larger capacity battery is worth the extra $150 to me. The WiFi doesn't hurt either. I am curious to know if they plan to sell the 2nd generation with the same accessories, and what their plans for 3rd generation on are. -Steve ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Ok, no need to worry about non-upgradeability. You can update all the OS and apps on the Neo's with the standard USB cable it comes with (or possibly even over wifi or bluetooth even). I'm also pretty confident that they won't be delaying release of GTA02 because of software. As long as the OS is still working (which it would seem to be nearly identical to current OS), they'd push it out the door. They may not be pushing it to the wider market, but I'm sure they'll have it for sale directly. I mean, the current version doesn't reliably make phone calls and they sold it! -Steven On 7/28/07, Flemming Richter Mikkelsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 7/28/07, Steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Shachar Shemesh wrote: > > > > If FIC is listening, I'm also waiting for the second gen hardware and > > would like to see it ship as soon as it's ready.

If FIC is listening, I'm also waiting for the second gen hardware and would like to see it ship as soon as it's ready. I don't care if the software is pretty or even fully functional yet, as long as its upgradeable. -Steve ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It's not the software I'm worried about, it's the hardware. Software can be upgraded after the purchase.

Placing an order for September Release of FIC Neo.
Is there any way to place an order now for the public release of the consumer targeted FIC NEO to come out after September. I dont want to purchase the current version but want to place an order asap for the public release version with Wifi etc. I read the posts, but cannot make out the exact order details for the consumer model to be released after Septemeber. I looked over the Iphone recently and however nice the AT&T lock-in and lack of GPS makes it a dead dodo for me and my company. I cant wait to be able to SSH into my phone...awful. thanks Lventer ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
