Well - as always also this medal has two sides. While I would clearly support such an effort (like OpenPandora but to make a phone ;) I would raise a concern about porting Maemo - to get a similar user experience as it can be found on the N900 there are still some closed source components that would need to be freed before it can be ported. But I see that there is a lot of frustration now in the Maemo community and also within other open source mobile hackers (the latter are already frustrated for much longer). I am 100% convinced that once a significant amount of money would be available to buy a significant number of devices a manufacturer or design house could be found which would open the design - effectively one would buy the design. But I would guess that the number of devices would have to be in the realm of almost 100k which we will most likely not reach. For the time being we can support the GTA04 effort: http://www.gta04.org/ > I promise half my Lottery money as soon as I win. :-) > > Although some Go Language community fellow once told me Lottery is a > tax on people who don't understands Statistics nor Math.

They are probably even more frustrated than we are.). For me speaking though the N9 is tempting and I would really very much like to play with it I will quite definitely not buy, mostly for pure political reasons, I do not want to support Nokia any more (which I really do not lightheartedly. I had the highest respect for Nokia but their recent business moves are 100% against my belief and the only possibility for me as consumer to raise a voice against a big business is by not buying their products). > f(t) Cheers nils > On 6/22/11, Paul Hartman <paul.hartman+maemo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Ville M.
