This sounds pretty cool. I hope they pull it off in the end, but I might wait for it to drop in price. 6-850 EUR is a bit hefty for my pockets. I'd like to see some kind of reduced-specs version that cost a little less. For instance, I don't need a barometer in my phone. I could also do without the front facing camera or even the 5MP if it meant a price reduction. And with a highly configurable system like Debian GNU/Linux, I wouldn't mind having similar specs to the original N900 for a smaller price tag. I fully commend the project for trying to advance free software in the mobile world; that said, part of the idea for me is options. :) /mytwocents -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
