I'm very keen on getting an openmoko phone too! if there is anything I can help with, please let me know (I know smartcards well if that helps, and have some general clue about packaging and compiling software etc. - maybe either is of any help?)
about the voip capabilities: can the mobile phone be used with a linux computer for voip? that would be real nice? not sure what kind of software we would need on the usb host computer. with usbnet maybe only routing (ok, plus nat or proxy arp and thus this gets ugly), without usbnet maybe the ip communication can be done by the host and the audio part, sip protocol, contact database and all that would be stored on the mobile? with or without voip - I want one. :) as for the standard consumer feature: I hope for real nice management of contacts. None of the software for linux I know has a decent contact management (e.g. kontakt, evolution, mozilla all suck at some point), so it would be real nice if I could store and manage all contacts on the mobile, and it could for example let me see whose birthdays, anniversaries etc. are comming up. maybe it could be even the first application where I can enter a birthday for a contact without knowing the birth year? (I don't remember any software that can do this.) as you can see we already have lots of ideas and wish list items for the mobile, but if the first software version can't do all that, it will be perfectly fine. the more reason to dig into the source and improve it.
