Re: Quick Question about July 9th.
Since it's all open source _anyone_ could be a developer, so you're free to buy one. Keep in mind that at this stage there are known bugs in the software, and that many of the apps people take for granted in a consumer phone haven't been written yet. If you plan to develop some of the missing bits, or if you can live with the pain of buggy/missing apps and can submit detailed bug reports, then this may be the time to buy one. If you just want an open phone to use then you're probably better waiting for the consumer release.

RE: Quick Question about July 9th.
And another related question. Iperfectly known that, in his present state, the neo1973 is far from a usable phone, and personnaly I like to have one for developement. But does the phone part usable ? i.e. is it possible to make and receive phone call. I don't talk about full contact list or advanced options, just basic distant call (the original function of phones...) I hope this minimal part is usable (even if a little buggy) And another small question, in his current state, is it usable with french phone operators ?

I hope this minimal part is usable (even if a little buggy) IIRC one of the videos showed a call being received. If all else fails you can use AT commands ;-) And another small question, in his current state, is it usable with french phone operators ? It's an unlocked GSM device. Give it a SIM and it should work with any GSM provider. Thanks Tom ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
