Wow! Dave Fayram is clearly NOT someone who should have bought this
"under development, for developers only" phone. he is also an idiot
for ignoring this fact throughout his "review".

The only things I noticed that are legitimate complaints are the bezel
around the screen and the touch screen being pressure sensitive rather
than capacitive. Other than that, everything can be worked out with
more software development. Its projects like openmoko that will slowly
show people they can take responsibility for their technology. Dave
clearly is not used to having any freedom.

I'm sure someone who knows something about the software projects, the
phone hardware, free software and the development and developers
involved will review this device soon.
