Opinion

My opinion as of 2008-12-20. Currently OM should only be used by hardcore-linux-users and OpenStreetMap-cartographers. The FR-hardware is good but the case is not.

Hardware problems (Neo Freerunner GTA02)

• the display is to deep sunken into the case
• the headset has no 3.5mm jack
• charging is not possible if turned of or during boot
• missing hole for the pen
• missing keyboard
• system needs reboot to change sd-card
• no buttons / joystick on the front
• AUX-button is not easy to use
• the antenna-port can break easily
• no menu-option to shutdown/suspend/reboot

Software problems (SHR)

• still too slow
• no finger-friendly keyboard
• no gui to set time and date
• contacts and dialer should be one application
• the main apps should load in less than a second (preload)
