Its really pretty important that the communication on this issue *not* diverge into hate and vitriol towards customers, because to those who are observing the OpenMoko project - not participating - the SD+GPS testing issue is a *huge* screw up. No, the SD+GPS issue is a bug.

I also believe the GPS is a core feature of the phone and one area I am slightly disappointed in is the testing. For example, there are some experienced users of GPS here and some who have used GPS on the 1973 since it became usable. Were prototype Freerunners sent out to these people? If so how

Wow, Jay. I think it may be time to step away from the computer and calm down. Okay, I've done this. There may be a complete fix for this within a few days, so there's little reason to write antagonistic messages to the very people who are working hard to fix this. Its really important
