Reading the title of that article I first realize the big difference between the two types of free for mobile phones... Maybe something for that guy that made those commercials. All sorts of free (no money) phones, listed with the contract they're bound to + not really free. And then last but not

Well, OpenMoko isn't really 'here' yet, is it? It's public, true, but it's not final. Far from it, IMHO. About the ads, Some ads are fine, some are less interesting... The one with the bull is just geniously subtle :) maybe a little too much bashing towards the carriers, but very, very nice

Hi, I don't think your idea is that bad at all, but it doesn't look like something that's possible. OpenMoko wants all software on the phone to be open-source, thus no ad-ware lock-in is possible. It's reversible. Plus, the phone won't be any cheaper because of this reversibility. But that's

If FIC doesn't want to make it, you can try and build it for yourself. There's SPI and I2C available as test/contact/solder pads on the GTA01Bv4 PCB IIRC. (hmm, too much abbreviations?) -- Luit On 6/19/07, Flemming Richter Mikkelsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There is also the possibility to use

I think the first theme concern should be different resolutions. Currently there's just a VGA theme, but QVGA and WQVGA (i guess... 480x272 anyways) for future phones, and non-FIC phones. (most phones and PDAs are QVGA). At least I'd like to see that come soon. -- LuitvD On 6/12/07, Jon

Openmoko has 2 goals, right? One is to make a FOSS stack for mobile phones, and two is to make 'your parents' want it. For that last bit, you might need to have a consistent, but also clear and fluid (direct reaction to touch actions for example, click delay is really confusing for people). The
