My god!
Almost everybody here becomes a terrier and wants to worry the bone of the latest "possibility"
The very moment a possible miracle phone is in the planning TMO gets a thread devoted to it...or threads..or *cough cough* their own subforum ...and when it doesn't pan out for the endeavour ...we get to keep these bloated beached whale corpses seemingly for all eternity to remind us all of its failure , our dashed hope, waiting, preordering or just plain madness of throwing money on the fire of "helping the questionable start-up"
...a whole slew of rude folks from god knows where (not you fellows...I am just speaking broadly....and this does not include you..)
...and threads that end up exploding into easily 120 pages of pure speculation posts....in a matter of days weeks or at worst months..
I suggest...using what devices exist currently....modding physically if necessary to ones own desire...
Instead of flocking like a bunch of crows around the latest fictional shiny stone.
When something actually comes of a device ..Sure...THEN give it all the attention in the world ...
Until then it is just bright coloured smoke blown up everyone's ***.
Ok...
Rant done.
Now to REALLY deal with the Neo900....and its fetid stinking (half dead half alive as some wish to think it...) subforum body and posts...
Stop hanging pine tree car air fresheners on it and calling it ..."maybe alive still"
Dump it...Flush it...
If it isn't dead yet...someone please put a pillow over its head until it stops twitching.
Some wish to say that "even though the device didn't get made, the data garnered from the neo900 endeavour is invaluable .."
yes it is indeed invaluable ...if one can acquire the extinct sourced parts ..
Invaluable also since it swallowed so much investor capital ...
and has finally finished the meal of it..
With no end product for those who threw their money at it.
The only good thing to come out of the Neo900 ...
Is the amount of humour generated in the forum as cause of it...
