so will the neo900 be having its own injection molded cases?
jonsger has joined #neo900
<farknfart>
or will the neo900 be using recycled n900 cases from hk etc
<DocScrutinizer05>
the latter

<DocScrutinizer05>
building our own molds is waaay too expensive for the number of devices we hope to build
<farknfart>
what about the lens
<DocScrutinizer05>
?
<farknfart>
will they be el cheapos or carl zeiss
<farknfart>
camera
<DocScrutinizer05>
the camera modules are basically identical to N900
<DocScrutinizer05>
incl Zeiss lens
<DocScrutinizer05>
we are using N97 spare cam modules which are easier to mount nd cheaper, but use same camera
<farknfart>
ok so you wont be running into any copyright issues w/ nokia using recycled cases
<DocScrutinizer05>
N97 cam == N900 cam with attached flex cable
<DocScrutinizer05>
no, we won't
<farknfart>
how many number of devices do you hope to build
<DocScrutinizer05>
we hope for 1000 in first batch. So fare we have 400+ preorders
<DocScrutinizer05>
so far*
<DocScrutinizer05>
for a second batch we would need to go for our own selfmade cases etc since no sufficient number of N900 to revanp available
<DocScrutinizer05>
*maybe* we can boost first batch to 1500 even
<farknfart>
will you make enough profit to beable to invest in injection molding rnd?
<DocScrutinizer05>
no
<DocScrutinizer05>
but we can find venture capital when we demonstrated we can pull off
<farknfart>
so what your gonna hire a carpenter?
<farknfart>
ahh
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's pretty easy to find capital when you have a clear plan and all you need are molds
<DocScrutinizer05>
easy math
<farknfart>
so does that mean if u pull it off you would release something based on a more recent cpu?
<jonsger>
DocScrutinizer05: how far is the webshop?
<DocScrutinizer05>
that's future project internally called STEP2 so far
<farknfart>
internal huh? i thought neo900 was a community effort and everytging was 'open'
<DocScrutinizer05>
jonsger: alas it's stale since 3 days, I been out of order yesterday and busy with other stuff the two days before. It's almost done, just needs adding a 1€-voucher product of which you can buy as many as you need to pay to top up your former payment to new threshold
<DocScrutinizer05>
farknfart: huh?
<DocScrutinizer05>
farknfart: please try a less offensive tone
<jonsger>
oh cool ;)
<farknfart>
ok... sorry what is step2
<DocScrutinizer05>
I will manually convert vouchers and previos payments into down payment for the real product you want
<DocScrutinizer05>
step2 is a project discussed in public related to what might follow after Neo900
<farknfart>
oh yeah ... is it a separate thread to the 5000 mile neo900 thread on maemo...
<DocScrutinizer05>
when you want to port sailfish to Neo900 you're welcome to do so - we provide all the needed hw docs. For requirements on OS side - like RIL - please ask in appropriate sailfish/nemo related channels
<farknfart>
ko0l
<DocScrutinizer05>
??
<farknfart>
?
<DocScrutinizer05>
farknfart: you're aware that Neo900 is a hw platform not shipping with any particular OS, just like a e,g, ASUS PC motherboard?
<farknfart>
like tge raspberry pi... yes
<DocScrutinizer05>
my sarcasm alarm jelled on your "ko0l"
