Hello to all the community!

I agree that both WiFi and Bluetooth are important features that will help
in building the community
behind the phone. If we look at the example of the linux kernel we can see
that people have hacked
most of the devices and protocols just to get connected to every possible
thing.

I think I could not afford buy a smartphone version 1.0 without connectivity
and version 1.1 with
connectivity after just a few months. Maybe a good idea could be to provide
an hardware upgrade
for the owners of version 1.0 for a smaller price pherhaps returning
the 1.0phone in exchange for the
1.1
This could be a good line for me.

Anyway keep working on this fantastic project!
Regards,
  Alessandro
