A (Thorough) Review of the Neo Freerunner

Before anyone says it, yes, I know that there are "reviews" on sites like Gizmodo and Ars. If you take a look, though, you'll see that they're _software_ reviews: none of them seem to have actually touched the phone itself. Moreover, they seem to be mos … (see comment)
