What do you mean about e-mail being broken? It can be encrypted much

more easily then most other ways of communications. We could just port

GPG on the OpenMoko. Spam is actually quite filterable. I think we

should go with e-mail as the main way of messaging. It's well

standardised and works with computers as well as phones. If we could

make GNU Privacy Guard transparent enough, it would also encourage

encryption usage among the users. Why re-invent the wheel?
