Andy,
I just got this from Samsung:

My Apple Mail client advises me that it "thinks this message is Junk  
Mail.". Unfortunately I think Mail is wrong.
Not sure what to do next. I think for now we have to consider Samsung  
to have closed off documentation for their chips.
I will try registering from a number of other e-mail accounts I have  
and report on the results.
What should we do? Openmoko can get the documentation under NDA but  
that is not how we understand openess.
Maybe we need to consider other chips?
I will try to get open documentation from Samsung, ideas welcome.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

P.S.: Is there any underground URL on the web where the docs are  
available? They used to be available broadly so I guess lots of people  
have them...
