This is a moot point but I was thinking the costs would be as follows. Note, I am not suggesting making telephony a required feature but rather optional. USB GSM = ranging from $30 to $100. Driver = $0 if a good USB GSM is used. Telephony app = $0 if adapted from OpenMoko which is open source...

I agree with you, Pandora will remain as it is. It doesn't have to, and indeed it would benefit from a change of its housing to support telephony since that would expand the user base and increase sales, drawing in former OpenMoko enthusiasts, but I suspect there is no will to change it. As they...

My main point was that in order for Pandora to become effective as a phone, the case would have to be modified. If Pandora's designers only want to focus on a niche market (gaming), then this will not happen. But the history of technology is littered with niche products that came and went.

He's trolling and proving his lack of worth as a person. I'm done with him but I suppose that if you want to punish everyone because of his immaturity, that in turn will be a test of your judgment. But I'd ask, why would you delete a thread because of one participant?

Here it is: My link I never said the USA was the best example of a free society. Anyone who lives here and it not completely asleep knows that Bush's spying on citizens has continued in full force thanks to his friend Obama.

There are many USB GSM devices, for instance from Sierra Wireless. Some are known to work with Linux.

Do you not know why Linux and free software were started in the first place? It's about freedom. If you don't care about freedom then go buy yourself a PSP.

Your lack of respect for others is due to your lack of self-respect.

No, the truth is important and people realize this. The Internet has provided a means around the censorship and lying that is status quo in the media.

It is entirely accurate. My link Many excuses were presented for banning Chinese competitors but as usual, since India is a corporate-controlled fake democracy, it did not really matter which excuse was used. My link

All GSM radios have SIM slots.

People who systematically oppress the freedoms of others are the enemies of mankind and must be defeated. If Nokia assists such people, it must be boycotted.

Interesting phone, although the screen is only 3.5 inches. My current phones has that size display. But more importantly I don't trust Nokia for two reasons: 1. They recently bragged that they exported technology to Iran to let the government there spy more precisely on protesters. 2. They...

Good idea but is there already a Linux-based phone with 4.3 inch touch screen? Does any phone have that large of a display?

Personally I'd like to have one small device that does everything and is Linux-based. Phone, games, web surfing, etc. Well, I can dream...

A clamshell design would be awkward for a cell phone usage, unless a headset could be used.

If you suggest I get a mainstream phone instead of a Linux device, would you also suggest people buy PSP's instead of Pandora?

Hi folks, I'm curious, has anyone considered making a phone version of Pandora? One can buy USB GSM radios for $30 to $100 on Ebay. If there is a Linux driver for whatever GSM modem is used, it could transform a modified Pandora into the best phone on the market. After all, a 4.3 inch touch...
