Size and weight considerations for future Openmoko devices

Hmm... I cannot find any good reason to have 2 speakers eighter. Maybe the reason is that they want the sound to be better distributed in all direction? - Anyway, you can always remove one or two speakers when you get the phone. It is not very complicated. _

Hello I have been using for several years now a Nokia 7710. It is a little bigger than the Neo. * Weight:189 g * Dimensions:128 x 69.5 x 19 mm But the greatest feature about this mobile phone is the screen size and resolution. * 640 x 320 pixel Reading my email and attached documents

Re: Size and weight considerations for future Openmoko devices

Plenty of good points well made and also some good points not so well made ;) The fact that FIC are keen to build a whole slew of devices about openmoko is great news and I hope that we will see different form factor phones as well as other devices. That said I am almost more excited about getti
