Sep 04 10:13:54 <jubalh> hi
Sep 04 10:13:57 <jubalh> is this project still alive?
Sep 04 10:14:32 <PaulFertser> jubalh: heh
Sep 04 10:14:42 <PaulFertser> jubalh: see neo900.org and gta04
Sep 04 10:14:45 <PaulFertser> Sort of
Sep 04 10:21:16 <jubalh> wow
Sep 04 10:21:33 <jubalh> the neo900 *looks* even like what i want
Sep 04 10:21:37 <jubalh> one with a keyboard ;)
Sep 04 10:21:56 <jubalh> but its quite expensive ? :( whu?
Sep 04 10:22:04 <jubalh> PaulFertser: how can it be so expensive?
Sep 04 10:23:10 <PaulFertser> jubalh: small batch
Sep 04 10:23:28 <jubalh> hmm its a shame..
Sep 04 10:23:32 <jubalh> i think i cannot afford it
Sep 04 10:23:33 <PaulFertser> jubalh: the chip manufacturers are very mean when it comes to small batches.
Sep 04 10:24:29 <PaulFertser> jubalh: and that's still relatively cheap because neo900 reuses n900's plastic details. If they had to do all the tooling for injection molding themselves, that would be twice the price I'm afraid.
Sep 04 10:24:56 <jubalh> i will read more about it soon
Sep 04 10:25:02 <jubalh> what about the operating system?
Sep 04 10:25:16 <jubalh> and when will it be delivered?
Sep 04 10:25:33 <PaulFertser> jubalh: maemo/mer folks planned to port all their nice stuff, Replicant too.
Sep 04 10:25:46 <PaulFertser> jubalh: I don't know anything beyond what the site says.
Sep 04 10:25:49 <jubalh> i didnt even know maemo wsa still alive :s
Sep 04 10:25:52 <jubalh> ok
Sep 04 10:26:05 <jubalh> when it comes to phones its so hard to find a acceptable one..
Sep 04 10:26:09 <PaulFertser> Yes
Sep 04 10:26:14 <PaulFertser> I'm still with my gta02 freerunner.
Sep 04 10:26:29 <PaulFertser> PITA but I've no choice.
Sep 04 10:28:42 <jubalh> no choice even?
Sep 04 10:31:39 <jubalh> why no choice PaulFertser ?
Sep 04 10:33:02 <PaulFertser> jubalh: what am I to choose from?
Sep 04 10:34:48 <jubalh> well you could use an android phone couldnt you?
Sep 04 10:35:45 <PaulFertser> jubalh: android sucks and it's too unfree for me. How could I settle for something that shitty after I had enough experience with gta02?
Sep 04 10:37:50 <jubalh> well for me it starts to suck now
Sep 04 10:37:54 <jubalh> and i also think its to unfree
Sep 04 10:38:06 <jubalh> but i am not sure if i want to go for this gta02
Sep 04 10:38:25 <jubalh> i wonder how the market can still be like this..
Sep 04 10:38:35 <PaulFertser> How the world can still be like this?!
Sep 04 10:41:22 <jubalh> PaulFertser: how much does the gta02 cost?
Sep 04 10:46:43 <PaulFertser> jubalh: no idea, check pulster.de , goldendelico shop and second-hand market.
Sep 04 10:47:42 <jubalh> ok
