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)
