Sep 07 16:08:19 <SparFux> Hi all. There is the Samsung H1 mobile phone. It is offered with LiMo on it and Openmoko. It seems the models are the same. If OpenMoko runs on it, does that mean, all the drivers needed for the phone are available in Free Software? If OpenMoko runs on the one model, does it mean I could replace LiMo on the other with OpenMoko?
Sep 07 16:08:35 <angelox_123> hey sparfux!
Sep 07 16:08:41 <SparFux> hey angelox_123 :-)
Sep 07 16:08:58 <SpeedEvil> It is offered?
Sep 07 16:09:04 <SpeedEvil> You mean it's possible to run it on it?
Sep 07 16:09:17 <SpeedEvil> I'm 99.9999% sure it does not come from samsung like that.
Sep 07 16:09:28 <SparFux> SpeedEvil: I mean, you can buy it with LiMo on it, and as well you can buy it with OpenMoko on it.

Sep 07 16:12:05 <SparFux> it says: Betriebssystem: Linux OpenMoko
Sep 07 16:15:59 <SparFux> I sent a request for answer to the seller :-)
Sep 07 16:16:16 <SparFux> OpenMoko on that phone would be pretty cool!
Sep 07 16:16:28 <SparFux> But it might be an error.
Sep 07 16:18:04 <SparFux> They sell the crap, they shall say what exactly it is!
Sep 07 16:19:07 <SpeedEvil> I see no mention that that's openmoko
Sep 07 16:19:40 <SpeedEvil> ah
Sep 07 16:19:47 <SpeedEvil> I think someone has become confused.
Sep 07 16:20:36 <SpeedEvil> As I understand it, there are user-based ports from some OM users for some OM-derived OSs to run on other phones.
Sep 07 16:20:56 <SpeedEvil> I would be completely astonished if they come from samsung that way, and don't believe it.
Sep 07 16:25:24 <SparFux> Samsung is quite anti-free software, right?
Sep 07 16:27:20 <SpeedEvil> I believe so. Frm what I've come across.
Sep 07 16:27:31 <SpeedEvil> The couple of other sites I googled do not state that model is OM
Sep 07 16:28:22 <SparFux> Well, the phone is quite cheap and it has everything imaginable. But I'd like to know wether all it's components have free software drivers available. Though this seems to be a hard job!
Sep 07 16:35:21 <SparFux> SpeedEvil: Ok, 175 Euro opposed to 379 Euro, seems like somebody has put some work into that phone! :-)
