OpenMoko should probably include some system-wide network access
management that avoids huge roaming bills.
Quite simply, build in a data counter that you can enter the cost of a
data unit and have the phone show you your costs incurred. But also be
able to deny access to all or specific applications.
That kind of thing usually happens with periodic background tasks such as
synchronization, checking for updates and other stuff like this. Showing
what it's going to cost doesn't help in these cases. Your roaming status,
time of day etc should affect the _appropriateness_ of doing, say, an
email check, probably based on user preferences (e.g. a user might
consider mail so important that it should be checked even in roaming, but
software updates surely can wait).
