So ranting against one of they few companies that actually let you in on their 
development process is OK, but I am flamimg? 
Or *demanding* more effort from a company that is going out of it's ways to 
provide you a fully open phone, is that what community work is about?

FIC is a commercial company doing far more than then they have to (Did Apple 
keep you posted about progess of the iPhone development?), you do realize 
they could have choosen not to publish any information at all? If these kind 
of demands are what they get in return for providing information I really 
can't blame them when thats what they do next time. But I don't want that to 
happen, so please, accept what you are getting here and be happy with it.

And whining about customer service is something only customers are allowed to 
do, what FIC is doing here is providing community service and goes beyond any 
obligation they have toward us. I really annoys me when people claim a right 
to get something *for free*. It doesn't work that way, you can ask, but you 
just can't make demands.
