This may be a little OT... but if you want to win me over on a geek focused device... i.e. power users... 3000mAh battery minimum. I know it's not the core intent but personally that grabs my attention as a power user just as much.

I&#x27;ll have my phone soon, the thing just left spain last night.<p>I&#x27;m very excited to have it in my hands and helping me hack on FoxOS after what feels like a year of delays since the peak+

I just bought one and I&#x27;m excited. As a developer it is wonderful to have one device 2 operating systems for test my apps. About dual boot there is nothing clear. Any idea?

I played with this phone days ago and it&#x27;s amazing, really fast. Android and FirefoxOS works smoothly. I would even say it surpasses the Nexus 4 performance!

Okay, but does the baseband processor have direct memory access to the system RAM? If so, it is useless from a security standpoint.

Is it just me, or is there no LTE support here? Seems like a largish oversight.

Looks interesting, but I think they should have focused more on the spec.<p>Although, I definitely like the SDcard slot and real buttons rather than stupid onscreen ones.

Can anyone shed some light, I&#x27;ve never heard of Geeksphone.<p>Can you use Android, and iOS and Windows 8 on it? If so I can see why people would want to buy one.

Aren&#x27;t these the guys that produced the Peak+ etc? I can&#x27;t seem to locate those devices on their site anymore

Not really true. I know quite a few devices in industry currently sold that support Windows CE or Android as desired.

What, only one SIM slot, really?

I wonder if they&#x27;ll ship the US. I&#x27;ve wanted an Atom SoC phone for a while

Its an Atom processor? Does that mean it can run any x86 OS?

Total entropy, like the 20 variants of linux that cant establish a wifi connection.<p>Please save me from your tower of phone-babble. I dont care, and Im not going to spend time in your insane bouncy house of doom.<p>Fuck off.
