1 | Hi James, |
2 | |
3 | Well neo freerunner is maybe relative an old phone. Here in Europe I i |
4 | got it whit debug board (but whit out microSD card) about two month |
5 | ago form http://pulster.de/ (Really pleasant store!) |
6 | |
7 | I just purchase it because of the spirit. Because I like to learn |
8 | about phones, stacks, and own the hardware. Why should I buy closed |
9 | hardware if there is free one around? My decision was to support the |
10 | manufacturers who support free technologies. |
11 | In the long run I would like to use this as my daily phone. |
12 | |
13 | I was happy to find a gentoo distro on the openmoko wiki page: |
14 | http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page |
15 | No experience if there is an other phone where you can install eGentoo to it. |
16 | maybe nexus-s or android-dev? I just googled a bit around: |

22 | No idea about the network access in the US. |
23 | |
24 | So much about my thoughts. |
25 | Best Wishes, Elmar |
