With great regret, I have given up on my FreeRunners and transitioned to a Nexus S running Cyanogen Mod. I'm pretty sure I'll regret this at some point down the line; being free felt excellent.

I've enjoyed my time in the fully-free phone community very much, and while I'm grateful to Sean M-P and the original OM guys, I'm *hugely* grateful to the FSO and SHR guys who have given of their time for free to make my OM as good as it was, as well as the authors of some of the killer apps (TangoGPS, YAOUH, Mokomaze, etc.). I still tell people that *as a tiny, portable, highly-converged, highly-interconnected computer* the OM was a resounding success; it just never really made it for me *as a 'phone*, and while I'm sure a lot of the problems were my fault, they finally got the better of me.

So, I have two FRs available. One has the buzz fix, the bass fix and the #1024-recamping fix applied by the very professional guys at Golden Delicious; the other is stock. Both have had screen protectors on them their whole lives. I am pretty sure they are A5s but I can no longer quite remember how to check (sorry).

I'd like to sell one of them, but the other is available for free to a needy developer. Obviously, I would prefer to sell the fixed-up one and give away the stock one, but I'm flexible.

Please don't reply to me on-list; I'll be unsubscribing after I send this.

If you want to buy the fixed-up 'phone, please email me an offer.

If you want to make a bid for one or more of the phones as a developer, please email me why you want it; if you can enclose any sort of testament to your achievements as a developer from someone I'll recognise (one of the big heroes from SHR, say) it'll make my decision easier. If you *are* one of the heroes, that makes it easier still. I'll pay the postage; if you're outside the EU, I'll mark it as a gift (which it is), but local taxes are your problem.

I'll make final decisions about the disposition of the units within two weeks. Thanks to everyone, yet again. It's been a great community to be a part of.
