Attempt to get new webOS Phone

**LuckyPhoenix** · 04/25/2012, 06:44 PM

All,
This might be hard to do, but depends on how dedicated people are. I said it before, and I'll say it again, the most likely way we'll see another webOS phone being manufactured is from a Chinese company like Meizu who doesn't care about an ecosystem as much as it does on making a nice looking phone. They started with WindowsMobile, and then end up with Android and having their own store with millions of people downloading. So it can be done.

If you guys want, come check this out:
OPPO Smart Phone

What I did was gave them a name, and then on my top feature wanted list, I put Open webOS on there. If enough people put it, who knows, maybe they will consider it. It's worth a shot for a free smartphone with little time involved.

Cool! At this rate, it doesn't sound like there are a lot of people doing it, but maybe they will just take notice and look around anyway. Just gonna remain positive about a future webos phone!

Count me in too...

I put in my 2 cents! All we need is a phone that combines the look of the old Palm TX, the slickness of the old Sony Clie, and wallah!

Hmm you're right, I didn't think about it before...but shouldn't I get a receipt? I just clicked submit and close. I'm going to email them right now and respond back here.

Oppo Agile, I like it! I myself used Oppo Progeny to give Oppo some ego boost and say the smartphone is the progeny of Oppo's creativity. But I'm really thinking Open webOS, the descendant of webOS!

**lagoldste** · 04/27/2012, 05:39 AM

I suggested that they name it the Source. "The Oppo Source, running Open WebOS"

(oh i think someone already beat me to it)

**LuckyPhoenix** · 04/27/2012, 02:13 PM

Guys, I'm so sorry! I emailed them, and they told me that the contest is over, and that's why we can't submit anymore. I should have been more dilligent and wonder about why I didn't get a email confirmation before I posted on here.

Sorry to waste everyone's time.

I'm going to email them anyway about open WebOS and link them here.

**LuckyPhoenix** · 04/27/2012, 05:18 PM

Guys, I told them about how everyone raves about webOS and we just need a good hardware and that if they wanted to set them apart from the mass of Android phones, they should go with webOS. I got this reply...maybe it's standard, maybe they will look over it. What do you guys think?

We will forward your suggestion to the engineering group whom will take them into consideration when working on new hardware and software product.
