First, you must be sure there is a hardware bug. For instance, nobody
knows.
Second, everybody here is aware that hardware, like software, is never
bug-free. Especially on this device. I admit that hardware bug is
harder to correct for the end-user, but it's the deal, no?
Third, ... ahem.. no third yet.
Don't forget that Openmoko Inc. is a Company trying to focus on 2
goals:
- create a free software phone
- Have an invest return (Je ne sais pas traduire "retour sur
investissement")
I've paid (but not yet received) my FR, and even if I know there can
be a hardware problem, I'll never complain about HW problems. I
imagine there will be a GTA03, smarter and cheaper, but I'm not in the
same situation of the iPhone first buyers...
They have to do the best effort to correct problems, but as far as I
know, it's the first firm saying "We sell you a piece of hardware,
with all specs we can diffuse, do what you want with it"...
