I do agree with your point. But it is not professionalism that I'd like to
see, just a little more communication. It does seem that you've had more
contact from them than some of us.

I have avoided contacting OpenMoko directly because I do not want to add any
strain to their already stretched resources by making them communicate
individually with each worried customer. I expect(ed) any information that
they knew and could tell us would be given to us as a whole.
