I do doubt that Neo's market coincides with the iPhone market very much...

ok, ok, i get it. No one else thinks its a good idea to promote the Neo1973

Yes, so, let's start with a SWOT Analysis[1] for OpenMoko platform (or devices):

the objective.

Indeed, people want features, not only ideology. The ideology part is
a great aspect for free software advocates, but is a mainstream
consumer aware of it, would he care at first sight ? No; a lot of
people buy fair trade coffee if it has a good taste (apart of the
little taste of freedom :p).

I'll chip in here for once. :)
I agree with what some have said that we should better wait before the phone is
actually a finished product we can point to (including a web site or store
where people can easily buy it).
However in the meantime I think we should think about the marketing subject,

Frankly, creating buzz about the product doesn't really seem like our
job... I'm just looking forward to getting one so I can get to
serious work on it!

Hey!
I am a Hungarian exchange student right now and I think I could help
you by sending in a couple articles about OpenMoko to some Hungarian
tech papers. Hungary (in general) is very opened to Linux (go to
Google Trends and search for Linux) and it has got a strong Un*x like
OS lover community.
Just mentioning the Neo1973's merits and existence will open many eyes.
People read Apple news (and the buzz which passes for news), and then read
comments; not a lot of non-tech people read news about an unknown product
(or less-visible company, FIC).
I agree that we can be better heard in the f
