<div>I agree definitely with the parts that I excerpted below from what John said, and would further like to point out what I personally see as one of the major strengths of this project: To show the world and other device makers that there can be a market for open mobile devices/phones. Of course this phone isn't going to be perfect or meet everyone's needs, but a successful neo means a better chance for OTHER open devices on which to run openmoko/software of one's choosing, beyond the revisions made to the neo.

<br>market/use. Whether or not it has a camera. Whether the accelerometers in<br>GTA02 are accurate enough for inertial nav. Etc...</blockquote>
