"It uses an OEM modem module (non-free)" Well that's too bad, because as captainmuon hints at, above, that is the only thing that matters. The. Only. Thing.

"It uses an OEM modem module (non-free)" Well that's too bad, because as captainmuon hints at, above, that is the only thing that matters. The. Only. Thing. A free/open baseband processor changes everything and makes possible a world of control and new features that most phone users have no inkling of. At the very, very least they could choose a baseband processor that already has some cracks in it and then perhaps blow it wide open once there is wide adoption of these neo900 devices ... sort of establish this baseband as a "new calypso" ... but there is no mention of that. Hey neo900 folks - can you post somewhere obscure (if you're trying not to spook your bb-proc suppliers) like osmocom dev list and give us some hints as to what you hope to do here ?
