Neo9000...... Well, when there was a chance for it to happen, it was already outdated and very expensive. Pro1 on the other hand is on the other hand real working device with all the right boxes ticked and with quite reasonable price tag.
I get that people here would like anything other than android, resistive screens and some other 19 century stuff but from all promised true linux, opened, blablabla phones this one exists. And while esssentially it is an android phone, it does have HWK, unlockable boot loader and guys behind it that like some of the ideas as do people here.
Pyra does support SIM card (Mobile edition, that is). Just, not very usable as a phone (Fxtec Pro is not tiny, either).

Neo900 is about the only device that even dares to contemplate: 1) RGB backlight for keyboard; 2) stylus sensor; 3) hackerbus. So, hoping it will get released, some time this century. Preferably before 2040?

Unlockable boot loader is good, but not quite enough. I would like it if they offered option for users to have Fxtec Pro shipped with something else pre-installed, instead of Android: Sailfish, Maemo Leste, a few options that Fxtec endorses to the point of closely cooperating with developers, sending them prototypes, something. Because I am stubborn enough to reject Android, even when Fxtec Pro looks very nice.

Thank you. Best wishes.
