WiFi is extremely important to me. Especially in a hackable Linux phone. Camera is not a big deal. I use the one in my Pearl, but not enough to make it a deal breaker.

As Jonas, I recently moved to a nokia E61. It's a real pleasure to browse the web without having to go pick up a PC for small browsing session, or for just check if an email has arrived from the kitchen.

I'll never buy a pone without wifi anymore.

Oh, I’ll tell you why wifi is a good idea. I moved my primary phone to SIP several years ago, and with my E61 mobile with wifi it automatically attaches to my landline any time I’m home or in the office, which are my two most common locations. I absolutely love that.

WLAN is very interesting for free public mesh networks like freifunk.net which is already growing in cities like Berlin, Leipzig, Weimar, Vienna, Paris, Roma, London and many many more.

I’d love if you won’t forget the gamepad on with 2x 4 buttons on each side of the screen. That will make or break the phone for me.

Anthony: I 'did not' not 'do not'... I know that one of reasons why WiFi is requested is VoIP calls.

Maybe I used wrong words.

I don’t understand how you don’t understand. My mobile phone bill will plummet with a WiFi enabled mobile and VoIP. Most of my phone calls are at work and home, both of which I have access to a flat rate WiFi connection.

Super! That you’re actually trying to put in wifi before phase2 I think show how dedicated you’re in devloping this phone. I would L-O-V-E to have wifi. To browse the web, use Messenger, Skype, and since i don’t have a portable pc it makes the need even greater. Off course i could use gprs to some og these things but the prices here in Norway is ridicolously high, 3$ a mb. To darn expensive for a student like me.

I plan to buy a new mobile, and propably itwillnotbe the neo1973 phone. Why? Because there is no camera on it.

A camera is MUSTHAVE no matter what the resolution is (I prefer 2MP at least), because the of the following reasons: * many people take pictures where is prohibited for various reason * I always dreamed of a contact list where I have pictures from every people (I have many phone number, and of some I dont even know who is it anymore). However there is no good solution in this regard (the sony ericsson display the associated image IF you make a call) * there are some situation where you MUST take picture (car accident (it happened to me), ski, fun pictures) * take picture of a paper to read the content later. (exams, magazin, newstable) * take a picture of an important object.

So a camera is MUSTHAVE.
