Yet another contender in the market?

[Thomas Gstädtner]

There already was Samsung phones with HSDPA support which was slower than
normal UMTS phones of other manufacturers.
Also flash lite might be good looking, but it is definately no smartphone
platform. At least you cannot use the UI for additional apps (must be an
overlay).
The display resolution is very poor for a such big screen.

For me this devices is pretty uninteresting, and even if it'd be able to run
openmoko that wouldn't matter for me.
Why should I give my money to a company that doesn't support opensource only
to use their hardware with hacks and openmoko?
Let's hope OpenMoko and the FIC Neo1973 will be successful and FIC produces
more open phones in future.
