The openmoko is an FIC Neo1973 phone. http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2986976174.html
But there's no mention of it at all on FIC's website. For better or worse the iPhone will probably goad Cingular and other providers into getting more realistic about the way they handle geo and data services. Features are great, but if it sucks as a phone it's worthless. Battery life, durablility and ease of switching tasks are paramount. I don't give a rats ass about it being able to do geo location and mp3 playback if it can't stay running for at *least* three days without charging and actually make and answer calls easily. That and have an easy to use automatic keylocking feature. -Bill Kearney Syndic8.com ----- Original Message ----- How about this one instead - http://www.openmoko.com/press/index.html ?
