OpenMoko Train Wrecking (now with Qt!)

This is part TWO of this first review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3ntUy2eqlk

... *so* sad. Especially after reading the embarrassing crap under the blog link below. So much for the "glory" of open source!! LOL! And believe you me, the Android experience could turn out to be better in the one or other way, but *on the whole* will be as equally messed up and inconsistent... sorry.

Oh and gee, guess what... no, I DON'T have an iPhone... yet! So spare me with your sad, pathetic "Apple fanboi" rants, only because you have no real arguments.

Taken from Dave Fayram's video of the same name on vimeo.com where he writes:

"So, we installed another possible frontend for the FreeRunner, the Qtopia phone frontend. In general it's better, but really doesn't solve any of the deeper problems with this phone. It's still sluggish, still has horrible input methods, and still is not a valid substitute for an iPhone. Anyone who recommends you the FreeRunner as a substitute for the iPhone is attempting to play a cruel joke on you and should be treated as such.

This video (like its predecessor) was recorded in response to: This video was created largely in response to the article posted at: fsf.org/blogs/community/5-reasons-to-avoid-iphone-3g

(Sorry about some of the exposure. I recorded this on the spur of the moment with by macbook pro's internal camera. I think the video is clear enough to see what I'm talking about.)"

And this is the IMPROVED version?? The freetard's of the world might wanna stop waving their little "It's freeeeee!! It's opeeeeen!" fist's quite so high in the air and wake up to reality. Sure SOME DAY it might actually develop into something useful... only by that time the rest of the world (that doesn't sit in dark basement's compiling pointless apps with no real life or friend's living off of diet coke and french fries) will have extended their head start that much further.

The best part??!! This thing is supposed to go for around FOUR HUNDRED (yes, 400!) DOLLARS! Yow! And it's somehow supposed to be an argument AGAINST other phone's, such as the iPhone?? LOL! What planet/alternate reality do them freetard's live on/in??

:-D

Oh yeah I can tell by your dorky voice that you're a real lady's man

[lin2log]

LOL!! And I can tell by your non-existent reading skills that your IQ of FOUR isn't even being nearly maxed out, since otherwise you'd have caught that that ISN'T ME, you fuck-tard.

good video.. I know it is rated down, but the arguments are pretty sound. The one thing that you could tone down is the irony. It dilutes the argument.

You seem to be bashing open-source when virtually everything you use today uses open-source software in some sense. Windows? -BSD networking stack. Google? - Linux. Youtube? - Linux, iPhone? Webkit, gcc, and so on.

Please, don't bash open-source/free software and stick to evaluating the product. That transforms a rant into a coherent opinion.

[lin2log]

What makes you think I'm bashing OSS as a whole? I'm merely bashing the dilusionals that have been repeating themselves with the same bs arguments fpr *years* now, instead of just facing reality: OSS is important, sure, and great for fiddling geeks, niche markets and products but will never be ready for prime-time. Fess up to that and you're fine. Great ideas and concepts are thrown around (nothing more), but real innovation is done elsewhere in the end, sorry.

Your comment is further proof that you are ignorant on this subject and merely a winer, a negative influence (a member of the minority).

Anyone of authority in this business knows that besides Linux running many large enterprise systems, a major share of the web and Google itself runs on Linux.

The GTA02 is a phone for software developers. It is not a mass market phone. Calling it such and then pointing out consumer issues with the device is not comparing apples to apples. I have a GTA02 and for every thing I don't like about it there are two things I absolutely love about it. The software is getting better with the help of the entire community and will continue to be made more stable. The progress being made today will provide a stepping stone to a consumer-ready GTA03 in the future.

Denial is a terrible thing.

[timbob1907]

Haha very funny. I like this. I really want this phone to get better but listening to the things that are wrong is very entertaining.

[samuraiBSD]

I don't think he's saying you're explicitly bashing OSS as a whole, but I think you do kind of portray this image of just bashing open source...I know that's not what you're doing, but to someone not paying attention, it could seem that way.

[lin2log]

Well gee, thanks for making my point which I have made over and over again for me. Servers? Sure, go for it. Desktop? LOL, hardly.

[lin2log]

"People used to nay say about Linux"

Yeah. The biggest bummer being... that *they were right*.

[lin2log]

"You can enter any word via that keyboard - hold the key down long enough and that one is forced without word completion."

Yeah... and that's SO amazingly efficient and speedy. What a *great* point. That of course convinces me that this is truly technology of the future.

lol
