Here is my comment - LOL indeed. do you really think that Nokia - or any company - have interest in sponsoring competing, 100% FOSS, not proprietary (their lawyers would scream like banshee here) device? LOL, LOL, and ROTFL. Last time I've checked, they were not registered as charity.

Of course, there is need to contribution from Community, if we talk about designing own device. It may be either by skill/time (people skilled in hardware engineering), or by donations. No one said it's going to be free as in beer, our interest is the 2nd meaning of free

But, it's deriving too much int off-topic for this discussion. While it's probably OK for notorious "future of Maemo" talkers, which "contribute" only by talking, talking, talking and then some talking (waves to misterc), it's not what this thread was about.
