That's a shame, it did look so promising.

They were responding to my enquiries until i got this response just now:

".. sorry but as manufacturer we haven't the possibility for individual
sales
consulting. Maybe end of next year you find our Smartphone in Shops in UK."

I had been impressed that they were responding to my queries.

Is anyone familiar with any other UK/EU compatible mobile phones running 
Free
Software ?

Cheers
