I don't mind that it will be 0.5mm thicker, I just mind that there will be a gap.
I would gladly pay more if the Neo900 was physically the same as the n900.

By the way, this thread is already 177 pages long, making it completely unreadable.
I find this forum's interface very inconvenient, a newsgroup with a well designed web frontend would be perfect.

there will be no gap, there will be a spacer frame of some kind, basically extending the lower plastic shell a bit. (sorry for the extremely poor quality of my photoshopped fake which I attached) The decision to go this way for mechanical design been based on feasibility, not economics. Unless you'd consider 10 times the price still something in the range of what you all would be willing to pay - since that might be the result from trying to fit LTE into N900 case without spacer frame, at least for this batch quantity we're talking about here. Make that batch 20 or 30 times as much as we hope to reach now and I'll get that stuff into the N900 case for you (since then we can go for a chipset instead of a - larger - module for modem)

The thread is 177 pages despite the "inconvenient interface" - I don't think any other interface would have resulted in a shorter thread unless we had made it impossible to post to it. Now if that is what you ask for when you say "well designed web frontend" ?
Please check if http://talk.maemo.org/printthread.php?t=91142&pp=40 more pleases your preferences, at least it's only 45 pages there

cheers

This thread is like LOST TV series.
You have to watch it (read it) from the first episode (post) if you want to what is it about ;D

But I think this forum is quite user-friendly. Yes it is long, but that's normal when everyone can post in - and that's the important part of our project

I couldn't find the answer in the thread, but this thread is 177 pages long, so forgive me if has already been answered.

I donated some money right at the start of the project, if i donate again will this properly add up to the final 'discount' when i buy one? Or do I need to reference the first donation?

Thanks for your explanation. I can't imagine how will this frame will be attached to the rest. But, how about 3d scanning the plastic part of the case, then making it 0.5 mm deeper and printing it? Its possible this was already suggested in the 177 pages, in that case, sorry!

Maybe we can make a quick FAQ with the most common questions/suggestions and put it in the official website, to avoid people asking the same things over and over.

The problem is not the length of the discussion, just the slowness/inconvenience of the interface.
My idea of a newsgroup with web interface comes from the CUPS forums. It used to have both things. Long threads are easy and quick to read by using a newsgroup reader. I use the excellent knode, but Thunderbird can also do it.

A newsgroup reader can download everything, and make it fast to search, read, etc. It also shows the threads, and you can mark things as read/unread, just like Email. Its perfect for forums like these, with so many threads, and even long ones.

I don't know if CUPS was using a custom development or something already available. I hope Maemo can use the same thing, it would be a huge improvement!

I read much of this thread a while back, but I don't remember if this is planned to work on LTE in the US?
