Do you mean only 512M memory / 1G storage? Why that?

That sounds great. Is OMAP4 at all possible? I've seen it mentioned next to 1000 orders at 490 euro, would closed components from Fremantle work on it (they can use a single core even if not supporting)? That definitely would be worth 700, not sure if doubling ram alone is (I'm assuming that the 1GB NAND would be for rootfs). Does the wifi card support injection? (probably worth opening a brainstorm thread about legal issues, filing down nokia logo while still shipping Fremantle might be tricky, the 'hacking versions of N900' were just a resale with software updates, here it will be a bit different, unless shipped with debian and flashing Fremantle is left for the end user)

sorry this is almost off-topic here since the real porting should use a new thread, but until then I dump it here:

Voted and I`m definitely interested (it will be pleasure to test "new" platform at its birth).
Is it going to be DIY as follows:
1. Buy new motherboard
2. Open up N900, take out Nokia mobo, replace it with new one (everything fits, no drilling, soldering etc)
3. Ready
?

Will save you roundabout 100EUR as well.

Out of curiosity, what is the plan for sourcing the N900 components? I guess places like ebay/gumtree would be options of course but prices do vary being auction sites. Or are there any stock piles that I am not aware of?
May be a Donation drive for anyone with "Retired" or broken n900s could help with the cause? It would help to minimise the overall cost if we could gather a parts pool. (I would be happy to donate my spare unit)

[2013-08-26 13:33:42] <kerio> DocScrutinizer05: that's a silly poll
[2013-08-26 13:34:32] <kerio> because i'm willing to pay 500, but i'm even more willing to pay 300
[2013-08-26 13:50:02] <DocScrutinizer05> kerio: sorry, that's a silly comment since we are interested what's the maximum price customers are willing to pay
[2013-08-26 13:51:06] <DocScrutinizer05> I don't think anybody will refrain from buying when device gets cheaper than what s/he been willing to pay at maximum
[2013-08-26 13:53:29] <DocScrutinizer05> so we can start production when either (according to dos1's list which for Neo900 is 100EUR or more off) we have 100 users willing to pay 600 or more, or when we have 1000 users willing to pay 500 or more
Right now we have
06 users willing to pay 700+
07 users willing to pay 600+
21 users willing to pay 500+

This will be a truly open phone that I'll support it even if I'm still blank about how the phone and the OS will look like.
