Motorola+Qtopia=Linux Smart Phone
lems1 writes "Start compiling the excuses you will tell your boss to upgrade your cell phone now. Motorola has opted to use Trolltech's Qtopia to power up the next generation of SmartPhones. Get the scoop/specs from here and a nice high-res picture from this other link.
The phone will have 'digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, advanced messaging, instant Internet access and Bluetooth wireless technology' capabilities. On top of being Linux-based of course." Update: 11/12 00:44 GMT by T : Yep, this is the same phone mentioned a few weeks ago.
If the form factor was good what the hell do you care if it has a voice recorder. Don't use it.
Dude, are you gay?
Just because this phone runs Linux does not necessarily make it better than the other phones out there. Sure, if they had used GTK+ it would look like arse, but if this phone doesn't have the hardware to back up the software, it's simply not going to perform as it needs to. It's great to support projects that support Linux, but if those projects suck, your support is wasted. There are plenty other worthy cell phones out there that perform as advertised, such as those from Microsoft and Handspring/Palm. Don't let Linux be the one and only reason for choosing a phone. You may get burned.
fuck your mother, asshole
Yes, but what color does the thingy have (technically speaking)?

morons WANdering about use of term interaction
for the most part, that appears to mean that you sheeples read the pitch, & hopefully pull out
yOUR wallets. that's your end of the 'interaction'.
other possible uses for the miracles of communication we've been given:
disempowering the unprecedented evile that is destroying the planet/population.
how does won login/become a member?
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. get more oxygen on yOUR brains. seek others of non-aggressive
intentions/behaviours.
couldn't be easier. what's blocking all this interaction/cooperation? why greed/fear based
misinformation canpains of course.
you NEVER hear of any corepirate deathmongers touting oxygen, even though it's the best thing for
you/us. perhaps there's no countabull profit in it. another possibility is the overwhelming fear
associated with knowing that a power that exceeds all known before, is in the wings/air.
we're in crisis mode. the lights are coming up. pay attention (to the weather for example). it's
affordable, & tends to help prevent being misled further.
