Very interesting, thanks.
I'm all pro FSF and OSS, but not dogmatically so. I really don't much care if the kernel is mainline or contains proprietary modules; ideally, it wouldn't, but not at the cost of not working properly.
The rugged thing, though; that's what'll keep me from getting one. I'm already bitter enough about phone size creep. The screen tech is not a deciding factor, for me; in fact, if I got better battery life, I'd take an e-ink screen.
So, maybe not the FLX1 for me, but hopefully they'll do well enough to build something more slim.
Thank you for the info, though. Honest opinions are so hard to come by.
