FS/FF: 2*GTA02A5

With great regret, I have given up on my FreeRunners and transitioned to a 
Nexus S running Cyanogen Mod.  I'm pretty sure I'll regret this at some 
point down the line; being free felt excellent.

I've enjoyed my time in the fully-free phone community very much, and 
while I'm grateful to Sean M-P and the original OM guys, I'm *hugely* 
grateful to the FSO and SHR guys who have given of their time for free to 
make my OM as good as it was, as well as the authors of some of the killer 
apps (TangoGPS, YAOUH, Mokomaze, etc.).  I still tell people that *as a 
tiny, portable, highly-converged, highly-interconnected computer* the OM 
was a resounding success; it just never really made it for me *as a 
'phone*, and while I'm sure a lot of the problems were my fault, they 
finally got the better of me.

So, I have two FRs available.  One has the buzz fix, the bass fix and the 
#1024-recamping fix applied by the very professional guys at Golden 
Delicious; the other is stock.  Both have had screen protectors on them 
their whole lives.  I am pretty sure they are A5s but I can no longer 
quite remember how to check (sorry).

I'd like to sell one of them, but the other is available for free to a 
needy developer.  Obviously, I would prefer to sell the fixed-up one and 
give away the stock one, but I'm flexible.

Please don't reply to me on-list; I'll be unsubscribing after I send this.

If you want to buy the fixed-up 'phone, please email me an offer.

If you want to make a bid for one or more of the phones as a developer, 
please email me why you want it; if you can enclose any sort of testament 
to your achievements as a developer from someone I'll recognise (one of 
the big heroes from SHR, say) it'll make my decision easier.  If you *are* 
one of the heroes, that makes it easier still.  I'll pay the postage; if 
you're outside the EU, I'll mark it as a gift (which it is), but local 
taxes are your problem.

I'll make final decisions about the disposition of the units within two 
weeks.  Thanks to everyone, yet again.  It's been a great community to be 
a part of.
