The OpenMoko phone is now available. This first release is more aimed at developers, but even then this looks like a great system.

As is, I want one of the advanced models just so I can get the cool gadgets (aka development tools) and case. But, like any cell phone purchase I need to check if my provider has GSM coverage, and if the phone would work in Calgary (willing to change provider if I can keep the same number...) I believe this type of phone is going to be the catalyst for a massive change in the way telecommunications is done. It effectively opens up the market to open source software, has some decent connection options (bluetooth, USB, etc.), and even throws in some 3D accelerometers. The integrations projects for this gadget are staggering. My thoughts...
