OpenMoko is a linux distro for phones, and "OpenMoko.com" (the FIC
subsidiary that's making the initial hardware) will have other phones in
the future. The parent FIC already offers some CDMA phones, so you can
imagine that they will have something in the future that will interest you.

Even if they do come out with a CDMA model good luck finding a carrier
here in Canada. Telus and Bell do not allow any phones but their own.

From HowardForums:

"Bell Mobility does not allow *ANY* cell phone NOT SOLD BY BELL
MOBILITY on their network. *PERIOD*"

"Telus Mobility will NOT allow for the addition of any foreign
(non-Telus) ESN regardless if the phone is unlocked or not! In short,
you CANNOT use non-Telus phones on Telus Mobility's network. Please do
NOT ask how it can be done."

Good thing we have real competition here in Canada (sarcasm). Once
again you have the choice of "Rogers, or, well, Rogers".
