Whats up with the freerunner mass production?

[Michele Renda]

Hi Dirk,
If the Freerunner is only about earning money, I think I will buy 
another phone, not FR that is neither Umts.

Openmoko is not doing charity, but he want to follow some principles. In 
these principles there is also the choose to show us a part of internal 
process.
If he was interested only to earn money I think that they will do the 
NDA for graphical chip, they will give no news untill the phone was 
ready so there was "no customer loss", they will not show us any bug 
that they found in the hardware ... in a few of words they will be as 
Nokia or Motorola.

They decided to be different: I think we must not to complain than if 
they are different from Nokia and Motorola!

All the best also to you :)
