Re: Creating a real usable phone using OsmocomBB

As a gta02 owner, I am biased towards that.

As a lurker and osmocom supporter, the C1xx phones seem to have more of a future.

I also wonder which work will also help for future ports such as MTK.

The main issue with creating a usable phone though is getting people to use it. For gta02 you can simply get osmocombb included in SHR, QtMoko, Debian etc and voilà, instant users who care about software freedom. For C1xx you would need to create a user community from scratch and do a lot of work to reach the people who might be interested.

In both cases there is the whole legality/certification hurdle though.
