I suppose the expense aspect comes down to what do you expect for your money. I currently use my Freerunner as a day to day phone - but I never expected this community and the software to be as solid as it is now. I bought it as a toy, not a day to day phone.<br>
<br>If the GTA-04 board is not able to function as a reliable daily phone - great - I expect this functionality will take time. I look at the educational aspects, learning more stuff as the value. I can buy a simple Nokia for $30 at the grocery store if it isn't good enough to use ase a "main mobile" (yet).<br>
<br>Summary : I never expected the Freerunner to be a reliable day to day phone but it is! A lot of tweaking IS required (forgetting hardware mods). I want to take it to the next level of technology which the GTA-04 board will afford me. And I will afford it .... knowledge is power my friends.<br>
