Looking at the Photos of the current version, the processor appears to

There was some previous mention of available parts. I'd like to be able
to buy the plastic case. That way I would have the option of possibly
doing a little hardware hacking along

So, 450 - 50 USD = 400 USD for a kit...

I read what Harald wrote, I wanted to know a few more details than just the
base price minus the cost of the screen...

The potential for this option is what made me order one now instead of October.
I really hope Sean decides this would be a good idea.

A discounted upgrade pack would be even better. It could be less of a
discount and still have a smaller overall price. Thats good for
everyone

But what are you guys planning on doing with the old board at that
point? Throw it away? I would suggest keeping the old phone intact and
just selling it when you get the new phone. You should get a pretty
good discount that way. And that way there are more neos out there

I have to agree with Ian. I'd probably add usb wireless and just use
it as a Myth remote. And if i can't find anything to do with it, i
might just keep it around as a spare board in case i manage to break
something or something like that.
Maybe even board only upgrades for a while. I mean that

But yes, i very much see where you're going.
Several people have asked whether they will be able to buy just the
GTA02 motherboard as an upgrade.
To save Sean answering this one, he's still looking into it, and they're
*very* busy (exhausted) this week drinking from the firehose of having

(call it the Philosopher's Neo). Sean - have you had a chance to
confirm that there will be a GTA02 board only option available in
October? It would be great to be able to buy a Neo now and get started
freeing phones
I'm very excited about the Neo1973 and OpenMoko, but I can't justify
buying one now and a whole new one in October. I've decided to wait
because the WiFi is important enough to me. However, if there will be
a board-only option in October that would make a Phase I Neo + a Phase
II board not *too*
