There's no shop yet, only donations, and the commercial tools used for the shop (whenever it's up) will probably not be the same.

Just let me quote the mail Nikolaus posted to the ML:
Ok,
the first level goal has already been hit: we are beyond 5000 EUR.

Thank you very much for your support!

Now, we promise to start to work on the schematics, identification of components and initial mechanical PCB design asap.

My idea about this is that we replace the "paper-PCBs" shown in the video with real PCBs that mechanically fit and already
have some basic functionality.

The idea is to do them in 4 layers (to reduce initial cost), and not yet address the complex CPU, EMI, thermal things.

So ideally the prototype will carry an UMTS/LTE modem, connect it to the battery and USB connector
and we get sort of an external UMTS key in a N900 case

With this approach we can check the footprints and replacements if they fit into the space and if they are easily solderable:
* USB connector
* UMTS/LTE module
* antenna connectors
* headset jack connectors
* pushbuttons (incl. 2-level for camera)
* SIM reader
* Vibramotor
* IR LED
* microphone
* Board to Board connectors for CPU/Display board

If there are no major problems, it appears feasible to show something during the OHSW.org workshop end of November.

BR,
Nikolaus
Many thanks for the great support so far, it's an amazing success.
I'm absolutely sure we'll reach our final goal too, and pretty soon as well.
OK, I'm back to work you expect me to do

cheers

Forwarding another mail from Nikolaus:
there were some duplicates (people make a new order if they mistype CC numbers) or otherwise strange entries in the donations. I delete them as soon as it is clear.

This may make the sum go down a little from time to time. So don't worry. And tell if someone asks on the maemo talk forum or elsewhere.

BR,
Nikolaus

I have a question about the donation-discount, can that be put towards "complete" Neo900 devices or just the mainboard kits?

Can the Slashdot submission be edited to include a link to the feasibility study?

Expect to see many more FUD spreading trolls posting on Slashdot than we've already seen in this thread. Including the feasibility study link might somewhat reduce that as it answers a lot of questions.

Can't edit once you've submitted...put a comment in the firehose thread about it and maybe the editors will notice.
