You're talking of the case where everything that doesn't work is a
bug. But that everything that works in Openmoko doesn't constitute
what a 'Phone' is. Hence, either you've sold a bug, or you've sold
something that isn't a Phone.

Didn't someone from Openmoko say that it's a phone? Oh, by the way,
wasn't there a legal document that said that if you were to buy it and
it had bugs, you wouldn't sue because you are doing so at your own
risk? I think not. And, do you think that people get off the hook for
shipping products with major bugs? (If you recall Intel's processor
bug or nVIDIA's heating problem, it should prove you otherwise)

I'm done talking to you, Andy. If you have anything to say that isn't
Openmoko's selfishness, I'm going to listen to you.
