I doubt it; IIRC they just removed a lot of specs from their site

To be honest: the VGA screen is the only outstanding piece of hardware in
the Neo.
I owned many mobiles, I've seen screens in all classes (ok, I never was in
japan, so I don't know what these people have) and I really think, that QVGA
is _no_ option at all for a phone with a strong focus on apps an

Agreed. The display is the ONLY thing in GTA02 hardware that is remotely

I forgot to mention that not only is WVGA (800 x 480) the resolution

I'd like to wave the little "please can we have a decent SoC" flag again. Yes,

All of the geeks that I have shown my GTA01 to have been in awe of
it's high-res VGA screen.
Whatever direction OpenMoko wants to go in, I'm sure geeks will always
be a large part of their target demographic.
To touch on Gabriel's comment, WVGA would be the same resolution as
the Nokia N800 series

why would it be the end? the majority of phones in the no
I agree with you that the VGA screen is very important for marketing the
Freerunner - other comparable smartphones dont have that feature and are
certainly no where near in terms of DPI. I am also assuming that OM wont
discontinue the GTA02 (Freerunner) when GTA03 comes out. So mass market

IMHO, reducing any Openmoko device to QVGA will be the end of the
Openmoko project. And I have business reasons to wish that OM
survives...
There are plenty of QVGA designs out there and I even have an offer
and a sample of a Linux smartphone at half the price of the OM. It
works, has 90g
