Thank you. Maybe it is worth to mention that it is still open on CU?

> (though I'm still pretty sure nothing dramatic will happen..)
I am not counting on this. My hidden target ;) is to use this poll to
get to know how many people reads CU and aren't subscribed to ML, if
they start to vote. Regardless of voting results i will get some
statistical info, which is my point.

Seems wrong. Getting me nervous need much more effort and finesse. What
does, is that those 275 respondents you mentioned above are probably
only those who are subscribed to one/some of mailing lists. And you are
trying to ignore those who are looking information about their devices
other ways, like OM wiki. We do not know how many they are such people,
but I assume following:
minimum - NULL, that means you are right
maximum would be approximately the same as number of smart phones sold
by OM Inc. This number might be greater than 300. I do not want to
margin them, as we do not know how many they are.

Holy moly... where did that come from? By CU I am hoping you mean Community
Update.  I did not mention nor did I consider the CU in my statement.  I
don't know how many people read the CU but I would GUESS that the majority
of the readers are on this mailing list and have already responded to the

This is exactly what you're supposed to do, well done, thanks!

If one person starts stuff like this, he can only share it to n
forums/lists - the people who read those and follow also some other
need to spread the word.

Don't know, possibly, I hope people will forward this there. Or did
already a week ago..

Mind you, this list is not the only list to do with the Freerunner. I took the 
liberty to post a message on another forum (http://forum.koolu.org/) and 
mailinglist (android-freerun...@android.koolu.org) announcing the poll.
 
I've subscribed to the other list and visit the forum on a daily basis. Was not 
trying to influence the results towards Android, but just wanted to inform 
other parts of the FR community.
 
Maybe there are other lists or forums where we could announce the poll?

A message on the front of the Wiki would be nice.

Another poll that should be done at some point is what phone-front end
people use.  I like both Litephone and Paroli, and i'm wondering which one I
should spend my time working on.

I actually had OM2007, OM2008 and OM2009 separated as well as SHR
unstable/testing - but then I decided that it's a mess since then I
should also figure out the different versions of all other distros and
I have no idea of Android or QT stuff.. I think it's enough that
people tell the version in the name field (well ok, not everyone do
it..). Just to have a nice overlook of the distros people use.

And posting modifications: I think that's irrelevant, no-one uses the
phone with zero modifications. But I think it makes sense to create
another poll just to find out what telephone apps people use. Paroli,
zhone, ...?

You're welcome to run another poll later, for example in a month or
two with these changes.

I think we also should post our modifications (like changing state
files, or using other telephony software) because for some of us - like
me - stock SHR is unusable.
Also might be worth to to mention if it is used as daily or testing
phone.
Can you put this on top of this survey?
