[Discuss] Neo1973

[Michael]

Hello Chris Michael here.

    I was browsing the OpenMoko site looking for any means to identify
and contact potential developers in the region, and instead I found a
shipping list. In the list it describes that at this time no NEO1973 has
been shipped to Canada ... which means I suspect we aren't going to hear
from anyone with first hand experience with the device, unless they
happen to live or work elsewhere.

    Bummer, but I am still excited about the potential. I'll let you
know if I hear anything else.

    Michael.

    p.s. It's the same Michael as before, but I've changed my email and
header name to reflect changes in circumstance.
