Well due to the expense it is clear that no 3G device is going to be
Openmoko's main phone for a long time. No one is going to stop anyone

Whatever direction OpenMoko wants to go in, I'm sure geeks will always

In the time since Openmoko originally announced it's phone without 3G

become more of an issue that it does not have 3G (how much of an issue
we can debate, certainly).
So please, *please* bear in mind that when talking about the nex

The base platform from OHA will be being kept open, under

I'll understand whatever delays or problems OpenMoko throws at me, or rather

we're all learning as we go along.
But the continual lack of clear communication from the top is so

I'd been assuming that the PCB and/or schematics for the Neo1973 had been

I agree that something, anything, that will help me justify upgrading my

for 3G but I want to get building right now, on v1.
I'd personally settle for a minor discount on the next version for so called

Why not modify a normal screen protector to have raised bumps in a keyboard
