How do I find out what version my neo is? Do I have to open it?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Thomas Otterbein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:th.otterbein@gmx.net">th.otterbein@gmx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
questions about buying a FR now or later, waiting for this or that software<br>
and using this or that distribution arrive on a regular basis on this list. I<br>
read them all although I'm usually quite unhappy with the answers that happen<br>
to arrive on such a mailing. IMHO they represent -naturally- rather the<br>
authors personal liking of a certain distro than a neutral perspective on the<br>
most common issues (buzz, echo, battery, etc.). I understand that it depends a<br>
lot on the concrete device (revision) one uses and the circumstances<br>
(location, provider, gsm band, etc.) it's used in and -of course- on the<br>
personal expectations.<br>
<br>
So here's my approach to get the most urgent questions answered by a large<br>
group of users while allowing to take the decession on a most neutral base of<br>
data.<br>
I created a survey with the most important questions - at least to me but I'm<br>
happy to "optimize" it to make it usefull for a larger group of people. The<br>
questions are: What revisions of the FR are are out there and in use? What<br>
distro is used at the most? How many are (still) suffering from buzz/echo? Is<br>
there any indication that these problems are located or more frequent in<br>
certain corners of the world?<br>
<br>
The survey is a simple Google-Form. You can see the any entered records as a<br>
sheet here:<br>

<br>
I also created a Google-Map where everyone can enter the location of his or<br>
her FR, so people, who would like to see and/or touch it before buying their<br>
own, could find the closest FR-owner<br>
<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=115352610340426907999.000461ec26b35ac3fad63&z=7" target="_blank">http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=115352610340426907999.000461ec26b35ac3fad63&z=7</a><br>
<br>
The Google-Form offers a kind of summary too, which may show some usefull<br>
statistics if enough FR-owners take part in the survey. However it cannot, for<br>
whatever reason, be made public. If someone is interessted I'll publish the<br>
summary somewhere else then.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your support!<br>
