   Should I buy an Oppo N1 to support !cyanogenmod, a Nexus 4 to run #Ubuntu phone, or a #gta04 to get back into #Openmoko?

     Oppo N1 !cyanogenmod edition it is.

     I'm going to have to figure out how to manage a giant #tablet in stead of my tiny little #mobile phone. #adventure

     I went with a Nexus S and !replicant. I'm quite pleased.

     @cmhobbs, compare the size of your Nexus S vs. my N1: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/5415

     Ah, you dig the phablet form factor. I've considered a larger phone in the past. My only pre-req is that it be supported by !replicant.

     It's actually not that I wanted something that big, but that I didn't want to have to screw around and did want to send an "I support #hackerfriendly companies" signal.

     To some extent, I figured/hope the #Oppo N1 is `something I can figure out how to deal with'.

     It seems to me like, the more we show companies that we're willing to buy something hobbled and just work around the issues, the more likely they are to keep giving us that.
     lnxw48 (Linux Walt) and cmhobbs like this.

     Also, is #openmoko still alive and kicking? Last I heard it had fallen apart.

     The #openmoko #phone project was reborn as the `open phoenux', separate from the openmoko.com company: http://www.openphoenux.org/

     The #OpenMoko #community is _amazingly_ tenacious.

     OK, #Oppo N1 !CyanogenMod edition is actually turning out to be pretty awesome.

     Did you buy one? My only concern was the camera that swivelled around. Seems like it might fail at some point.

     #Oppo says N1's "rotating camera is tested to perfectly withstand 100,000 rotations". I don't expect to spin it even twice per day....
