Thanks, I appreciate you posting this as well. I have been trying to do better about supporting open source projects lately and I was just thinking about Linux phones the other day so it was well timed. It would be awesome if we could get one to the point that more casual users could run it without trouble, but that kind of thing doesn't happen on its own. If we want freedom we'll have to pay for it in one way or another.
