Well, you know, we're pretty far off the topic I started here. The phone
being sold now *is* called the FIC Neo1973, period.
We were talking about how to advertise the phone, when it's ready. Which
it isn't.
I only mentioned it so that nobody got too far along with advertising
based on the "free phone". I did not mean to get everybody excited
trying out their new name for the phone.
Let's all get back to writing code now, so we'll have something to
advertise someday.
*whew*
