The Neo FreeRunner is a standard GSM 900/1800/1900 unit and will operate on the NZ Vodafone network. Our company is currently in the process of becoming an official distributor and will likely be offering them in NZ very soon. More details on price etc shortly... -Jasper On Tue, Jul 08, 2008 at

On the surface, given that OpenMoko doesn't have the 900 in stock at the moment, it would appear best to wait for Jasper's offering. However, maybe a decade or two in the computer industry has scarred me and made me terribly cynical... I have often found this Distributor term has two very

Hi John We plan to bring in stock in (some) bulk, with the intention being that orders will be fulfilled from stock. We will only have a web presence, as IMHO a physical shop will only drive up the price. However, there's no reason Christchurch dwellers can't pick up from us and save them being
