Just bought a FirefoxOS Revolution Geeksphone in mid-May. I mean, sure, it's buggy and needs improvement, but it's an open source, community-driven project. That is how it was presented to consumers.

It has nowhere to go but up, right? Wrong. Without any kind of transparency or openness or communication, the Geeksphone crew let us know in a one-line comment that they were orphaning all of us.

No sorry, all FxOs development are finished by Geeksphone.

Thanks..... ;)

And that's all, folks. Apparently. To add injury to injury, they used a locked bootloader, according to another commenter. I didn't even check on that. It's an open source project, I thought.

I'm also mad as hell. Any other Soylentils in this mess? Anybody have any ideas on a useful way forward?
