Talk:Neo FreeRunner

Train Wreck?

I fail to see the point of posting a single, low-quality, obviously biased user-review. There are far more accurate reviews out there. Removed. 213.250.61.38 (talk) 20:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with the above comment. More videos that show the true nature of OpenMoko and the Neo Free Runner hardware are required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.148.33 (talk) 14:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It *is* a train wreck, and there lots of posts on the mailinglists saying more or less "you made me think I was buying a working smartphone, but all I got was this developers oriented alpha release with buggy hardware". Perhaps we should make criticism section? gromgull (talk) 12:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake?

From the article: "It is the successor to the first development phase smartphone Neo 1973, ..". I guess the year is not correct. I don't know the real one.Orimosenzon (talk) 06:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. googeling it revealed it was actually my mistake..funny name for a modern phone, though (o: Orimosenzon (talk) 07:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The name is explained here:

At this point, we should tell you why we chose the name "Neo1973." "Neo" means new. Dr. Marty Cooper (the inventor of the mobile phone) made the first call ever in 1973.

We believe that an open source mobile phone can revolutionize, once again, the world of communication. This will be the New 1973.

So, what's still restricted?

Lotsa things in this phone are accessible, what parts still aren't? This is probably the single most interesting fact this article can provide. 85.77.208.230 (talk) 06:16, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
