Why would you want to abuse OpenMoko IMEIs in an illegal way, instead of arbitrary other larger manufacturer, for a series of phones not built and not in use anymore? You're not owning those IMEIs (they need to be purchased/rented), for OM it would be illegal and punishable to support or invite you to use them in the way you plan to. And you're exposing OpenMoko device owners to public scrutiny by hijacking and abusing this particular IMEI range, possibly resulting in the whole IMEI range getting blacklisted on carriers. @community: It's generally considered a poor idea to disclose your devices' IMEIs and particularly in this case you should think twice before you do. I strongly suggest to use Nokia's 2110 IMEI range instead, or some other similar zombie IMEI range for Motorola or whatever. For Falconia there's not a single benefit from using OM IMEI for that illegal purpose.
