That's kind of problematic for privacy, with that anti-feature you can
be localized more precisely trough RLLP[1] for instance.

What about no UMTS version, I does not use phone functionality on my 
GTA02, I'm looking for devices with really good WiFi, but GPS is 
essential for my.


I assume that create custom version is not as easy as tell the machine 
not solder few parts on board (or is not easy to tell the machine not to 
do so). There is also lot stuff with ordering and so on. Am I correct?

 What do you think? Is this the right way to go for our project?
No. Dropping that much components and functionality to have only 10-15%
price cut-off is bad idea IMHO. I would rather wait 2-3 months more to
save up some more money for fully featured device.
