I'm just venting steam. I'm not entirely unhappy with the phone: just a
little frustrated, since I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase with
my wife... not to mention my iPhone-loving friends.
There were a number of sites, like Engadget and a few others, that were
essentially implying that the Freerunner was ready for general use (as
opposed to the Neo1973, which was strictly a developer's phone).
So, I enthusiastically ordered it, only to realize that it's still, very
much, a developer's phone. And not just a developer's phone, but a *super
hardcore* developer's phone.
I wouldn't mind learning to program for it, but even that's hard to do,
since there are a handful of competing openmoko software architectures that
aren't really interoperable.
Anyway, I guess I'll wait for the software to catch up to the hardware.
Meanwhile, I'll keep it tucked away in the closet.
