The marketing of Openmoko Inc. failed. It was a short-sighted idee
to
push the news with "first open source mobile" / "free your phone".
It resulted in c. 15000 sold units, which is no success story in the
long term. Besides it was never a ready-to-use mobile phone for
everyday
use. Even some Linux-die-for-geeks closed their drawers to store the
Freerunner into it.

Since I got the FR some years ago, I used it with Om2008.9 and now
with
SHR as my one and only and daily phone;
well, maybe because I'm not a Linux-die-for-geek, but a
FreeBSD-die-for-geek
:-)
I will now buy the GTA04, once I get the offer requested :-)
+1-1
I bought the FR as an experiment and didn't use it day-to-day - I
played with every new version and was quite interested in the GPS
functionality. Sometime later my old phone died and by then QtMoko was
nice enough to use as a daily phone but there are still some limitations
(battery life, hard to hear in non-quiet situations, GPS app problems
etc). I am a Linux geek but a fairly light mobile phone user - I just
couldn't justify spending another big chunk of money on something that
uses the same case . .
My 2c

Phil.
