We just happen to share a desire for hardware and software which works for us not some corporation or some state's spy agency.
Neo900 did take up the challenge. We evaluated that concept and found we can't include a pager receiver since there are simply too many different standards in different areas of this globe. We however have hackerbus that totally allows plugging in such receiver as a user hw extension. We informed RMS about that option since he originally suggested that concept to us. Alas he doesn't like the fact that our modem has a documented method to update the firmware since that defeats the RYF approach of pretending ignorance of any software/firmware in peripherals. Note that this is not at all a technical objection but merely an arbitrary semantic one - if we could get an identical modem with documentation that simply doesn't list the command for firmware update, we would comply with FSF's RYF and RMS' desires in that regard.

@to_whom_it_may_concern
instead of introspectively / almost autisitcally focusing on how poor the chief technical officer performs with frequent website update since our all-time very best guy dos1 doesn't have the energy to take care about that anymore, you could spread the word that Neo900 actually *is* RMS' dream phone he would consider using (if it wasn't for us providing TOO MUCH documentation on modem). While this might be irrelevant to you guys since you don't consider RMS a relevant reference, it would still help generate a lot of preorders and support from the zillions of users out there who actually DO care what FSF recommends and RMS likes.
