Salve! I don't know how much enviroment friendly development was criteria for the v1 - but this point would be nice to consider - at last for v2: > http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/toxics/electronics/copy-of-how-the-companies-line
OpenMoko will enable the user to use the phone much longer and to add the software that he wants/needs instead of the need to buy a new phone because of a new protocoll e.g. Wap. This is already a big step for beeing an environment friendly product. Don't get me wrong, I don't ask for making all better from the beginning - but on the longterm, it would be nice to promote OpenMoko/Neo1973 also with ecological criterias. Like: Beeing greener then the Greenphone ;) Supporting small companies to repair e.g. display demanges with different display types and a non-propritary battery format would help that the live-time of a Neo would be longer than the 12-24 month crap with included engineered end of live shortly after warannty. No keyboard is a good design to be able to use it for a longer time :) So avoiding using high toxical chemicals for the production it the one aspect - having a lower resources consumption with a longer livetime another.
