thoughts?

feeling distrust with past intel foo far...

they call them shelf an manufacturer yet it also sounds like they hire a
company to actually make/design the phone (?). hence its not open
hardware as they don’t own the designs.

imx6 SOC so i faster then neo900 i think? (got the learn about the web
of TI SOCs and familys)

neo900/gta0* i think do a bit more, like modem antenna hard disconnect
as well has mosfet disconnect of power to modem.

wifi/bt looks like it will have non-free firmware. Is it really not
possible for them to use atk free firmware wifi IC?

i guess/hope at least it will have free gps firmware :) unlike every
other mainstream smartphone.

like that doing the VOIP for calls and the seamless connection to a
mobile phone number. something ive been thinking about for my self :)
but there service sounds easier :).
