Now, by help of your post in other thread, I been able to parse it :-)
We won't even start to sell during next 6 months, so don't worry. We are producing to order, in batches of a few hundred devices, once we collected enough preorders. You most likely will be able to join first batch still, if you "hurry" a bit. and of course we hope we can build a second batch eventually, when first got built and shipped.

cheers

Ah good ...I most certainly want to be on that 1st batch...I figured roughly for the time period of 6 months anyway before we were asked to pony-up the coin.....plenty of time ...fits in line perfectly with my piggy bank's sentiments too

Though...I'm sure I'd have no prob coming up with enough pocket change to make a grand (easily in 4 months without resorting to pulling out a credit card...) to drop on one from the 1st batch.

Yes. The plan is to get complete feature-set of N900, but augmented with some new stuff. If there'll be something that won't be possible to retain, we'll inform about it.

But actually, IR will be there for sure. Maybe even with rx, so IrDA compatible one.

Well, there are two major topics for any phone OS: Usability (buzzword fingerfriendly) and power management. Both not at all targeted in any usual general purpose (mainly desktop PC) linux distro.

I'd certainly be willing to recompile Pierogi for the Neo900 if needed.

I should mention that while IrDA uses the same wavelength as "Commercial IR" (what remote controls use), it runs at a much higher speed and a much lower power level. Although some folks have managed to retask IrDA LEDs to output CIR commands, they generally don't have significant range (half a meter at best). So, you may have to choose between IrDA or CIR if you're going to replace the IR LED.

Also, I'm not entirely sure there's enough room in the existing case to fit both an IR receiver LED and an IR transmitter LED (at least for CIR)...

EDIT: I should mention, if you're taking requests , it'd be nice to have an LED that provides a little more output power. In particular, the current N900 LED doesn't seem to have enough strength to communicate well with Sony TVs...
