Hello Philippe, There are a few major reasons why puchasing just the mainboard is not feasible for OpenMoko and the community. The cost of the board was projected to be ~80% of the base kit, therefore if the base phone is going to retail for $450, the mainboard will hover around ~$350, in that case making in not practical to just sell the mainboard. In addition, it's better to have more fully functioning OM phones floating around.
Please check the ML archives (July 07) for a more detailed explanation. -Kyle On Feb 19, 2008 3:53 PM, andy selby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I want to know if it'll be possible to change for a GTA02 CPU (or > > card) without buy the case... > > No chance, we cant even buy a GTA02 mainboard because it wont fit into > a case designed for a GTA01. > > > Or will it be possible to overclock (I think it's not a good idea > > because of t° but...) > > That, and battery life, or lack of it. > There are no jumpers to my knowledge so overclocking may only be > possible if wires are soldered over joints. > I had toyed with the idea of a floppy printed cable-style sheet, pre > wired and moulded to fit on the pcb making the power connections to > the cpu so as to overclock it (and taking additional power form the > usb port). > >
