Hi James, Well neo freerunner is maybe relative an old phone. Here in Europe I i got it whit debug board (but whit out microSD card) about two month ago form http://pulster.de/ (Really pleasant store!)
I just purchase it because of the spirit. Because I like to learn about phones, stacks, and own the hardware. Why should I buy closed hardware if there is free one around? My decision was to support the manufacturers who support free technologies. In the long run I would like to use this as my daily phone. I was happy to find a gentoo distro on the openmoko wiki page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page No experience if there is an other phone where you can install eGentoo to it. maybe nexus-s or android-dev? I just googled a bit around: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6557341.html?sid=c076eae8e6f195d8f718766b7be8f533 http://benvd.be/gentoo-nexus-s/ No idea about the network access in the US. So much about my thoughts.
