Subject: Re: [LAU] OT: linux phone?
Looking at it, reading the docs, I can honestly - and humbly - say
that this is NOT ready. If you'd like to develop, then it's for you.
If you'd like a phone to use as a phone, then it's not. An iPhone is
of more worth, iirc you can load up some custom Linux distro on it
too like on an iPod. I don't see any benefit for the end-user aside
from the "open" hardware. We don't get a refund if we open and
destroy it along the way, unlike software where code can be rolled
back.
Please avoid html mails and top-posting.
On the topic of linux phones:
Are there any that are completely free software?
I think I read a while ago that there's still some proprietary stuff in
there, the part that enables it to make calls or something.
I wouldn't be happy with that kind of 'open' phone.
Best Regards,
Philipp
