Have too much time on your hands? http://www.openmoko.com/products-neo-advanced-00-develkit.html I've heard a lot of good things about Nokia's "iPhone killer" as well, but it is really expensive at something like $800 for the unlocked version.

That is what I was saying, if the clones had wifi I would have bought one already (let alone the 5 I would like have).
