Greetings Rob and Sean,
Thank you for welcoming me to the community! I have played catch
up on the discussions going on here and it is very lively and
interesting. I am now very excited about OpenMoko! I can well
understand the excitement and desire to get ones hands on this phone

Hey Bryan,
This is a very interesting thread, it almost qualify as a very
primitive market report for OpenMoko. :-)
For me personally, I would like the phone to be a commercial success.

Hi Bryan,
That's quite interesting feedback. I have only really brought this subject
up with developer mates and one gadgetophile.
