Can someone explain the logo to me please. Why is the screaming phoenix going back into the fire? Shouldn't it be rising from the ashes? I don't want this project to crash and burn. Thanks in advance.

Whoa, really? I guess I can see that, but at first glance it looks to me like it's dive bombing.

LOL, you evidently watched too many toons in TV. What you think was the head is actually the tail of the bird, with a few flames around it. It's an elegant jetlike bird going up, not a toon character going down.
Anyway thanks for bringing it up, I guess the artist (whoever it been) can change that logo so it's less tempting to toon fans to misinterprete it ;-)

the curved side of the wings is where the bird's tail is.

I love the idea but i hate the choices of cases. The neo freerunner had an odd case so i didn't buy it. Now the Neo900 has a keyboard and i will not buy it because of that. Why not base it on a rectangular-ish case like iphone or simular. I bet it would make alot more people buy it.

I respect you opinion but you have plenty of choice like nexus & Co. I'm glade they went for a keyboard device. There are simply too few. Or none

A truly open smartphone (with open source firmware for the gsm modem) does not exist of today that i know of. The ultimate phone would be a phone with the hardware of the Neo900 (with osmocom firmware) and a rectangular case. But that's just wishful thinking. I bet the next Neo phone will be spherical

Please stay on topic! On a sidenote a phone with FOSS GSM stack is illegal to operate, everywhere except in anarchies where they won't have any network provider to use it in. Please stop spreading false claims here! A GSM stack needs certification and that has to be done even by the network operators. Operating a transmitter is basically illegal everywhere on the world without a licence to do so. I'd appreciate when you simply would delete your posts. They are incorreect and OT.

It's surely only illegal in the US The rest of the world would enjoy the open source/NSA free gsm stack. Sorry for the off-topic messages.

Is it actually illegal to release the source code for a GSM stack?
