Re: Hardware changes between phases ?
Would EDGE addition be a possibility, or are such changes too big? (apriori it's a change of the gsm module, dunno how different the AP's OS would have to be to follow) Regards Florent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hardware changes between phases ?

Re: Hardware changes between phases ?
Make sure you don't misread Sean's announcement - Phase 2 refers to the mass public sales of the v1 device. The 'introduction' of the v2 device at that same time will most likely be in the form of web pages, not v2 hardware. That doesn't preclude minor hardware changes between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the v1 device, but I wouldn't get your hopes up (unless there are hardware bugs that cannot be worked around in software). I doubt there would be any major feature changes until the v2 device. -- Rod -Original Message- From: Pranav Desai [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, Feb 9, 2007 6:36 am Subject: Hardware changes between phases ?
