I agree, ie.: Nokia N95 doubled the amount of RAM eliminating much of
the performance problems, much later and we're not talking about mere
thousand phones sold before.
Also problem with LED power draw was said to be fixable and you were
given a choice," wait for next revision" or "not" (uncharacteristic
piece of information for any company you have to admit). You can't
really ask that OpenMoko guys just throw away all A5s simply because you
want last tiny winy flaw fixed. As long as all modules work as they
should, within specified parameters it's a go.

The recent responses to possible issues with the GTA02v5 is a perfect
illustration of why many companies will not open their process. As
Mikko and others have pointed out, THERE ARE NO PERFECT PRODUCTS.
With a closed company, YOU simply don't know about "known" defects,
future improvements, etc. So you happily buy their current products
and they happily go on making the trade-off between the risk of
negative publicity caused by discovery of their flaws and the profits
they are making by keeping you ignorant of problems they don't want to
fix.
If you want to hear the truth, you must be prepared for the fact that
you might not like some of the things you hear. OM is doing a
WONDERFUL job of keeping all of us informed and disclosing details
that scare most other companies. The trade-off they are making is
between the improvements that they want to make (a never-ending list)
and the demand from the market (that's us) to get a useful product in
our hands. The product currently under production is clearly
useful--with or without LED current issues--and OM has decided that
it's ready to go to market. We should all support their decision
rather than complaining about small defects, known or
yet-to-be-discovered. The product will always be improving. I'm
ready to start using it NOW.
As an example from another area, consider the books on your
bookshelf. With each printing minor corrections are made. Does that
mean you should not buy a "first edition, first printing" copy? How
long should you wait? When will it be "perfect"?
