QtMoko is just too complicated - i think the idea of reference feature phone 
is good and in the end we can even have Aurora packaged for QtMoko - e.g. for 
testing.

I have been playing with FSO for week now. It's great api - easy to use. 
Writing feature phone is not that much work. I have my FSO test app that can 
register to network, make calls, blink with leds - check how simple it is [1]! 
I have spent just a few hours on it.

Having many frontends for FSO is probably not that much problem. I'd not panic 
now ;-)
