I've discussed the OpenMoko with some other guys here in south tyrol (even som phone-shop-guys), and thy all agreed that with a good and professional navigating solution this phone would be a power-seller. I think this owuld bring many more people to the Neo.
<br>But as far as i know, there's not Java VM on the Neo jet.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/9/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Petr Stetiar</b> <<a href="mailto:ynezz@true.cz">ynezz@true.cz</a>> wrote:
