</div></div>Let me assure you I'm not even close to anything resembling relaxed. :-)</blockquote><div><br>I'm very happy in reading this! FSO actually is the only real thingh that lets survive the idea of open phones. With a rock solid framework taking care of all the underlying dirty work, writing some GUI interfaces is only a matter of time and may be done by community.<br>
About hardware, to have an usable phone we need a well supported hardware with a good kernel and good chip's firmwares (e.g. gsm).<br>In my experience was that the problem with the freerunner, in one year I spent huge time on the device and encountered a lot of problems, sd card partition table corruption, problems with suspend/resume, WSOD, NSOD, glamo mci spare problems, gsm hopping, my vodafone card was not recognized before the latest gsm firmware updates, and many others that did not let me use the freerunner as a daily phone.<br>
That's the reason I really HOPE that OM will continue at least in kernel and low-level firmware developing, after all a stable Freerunner may be not so bad, and may be selled for a long time, funding OM and growing the community, and this is very important!<br>
<br>Thanks for your effort!<br><br>Best Regards<br><br> Nicola<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div>
