(of course, actually releasing a LInux SDK as opposed to J2ME would help, too) Tue, 29 Aug 2006 18:37:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bimbo) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?156836 http://osnews.com/thread?156836 Personally, I am more dissapointed that the Ming-A1200 doesn't have EDGE rather than WiFi. If it had EDGE, then WiFi would have been my feature request too.

Linux phones supposedly will appear in more models through Motorola starting next year.

I'd have bought a RAZR last time around if I knew that bitpim would work with it.

(It does now, but I have a phone) Tue, 29 Aug 2006 19:21:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MattPie) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?156872 http://osnews.com/thread?156872 Huh. Part of his answers are word-for-word identical to text found on https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/go/wiki1064

That's weird. Any idea which came first?

I was talking with a Moto engineer earlier this year, and asked if there would be a GSM version of the Moto Q anytime soon. Said engineer laughed and replied that the question was a popular one, but nobody would buy it because it would be very slow at downloading email and webpages. When I pressed a little further, the engineer admitted that Moto is (still) having trouble developing a good EDGE implementation.

Some of these questions you also asked them numerous times previously, see http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=15040 yet now that they are answering them you are not going deeper into the matter with them (at least not visibly). Which is unfortunate also since you seem really frustrated with them in that article.

Motorola just doesn't get how to do proper interviews, especially for tech-oriented sites. Wed, 30 Aug 2006 16:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments
