Has there been any discussion about creating an "OpenMoko Friendly" branding program for carriers with an appropriate trademark for easy consumer recognition? Off the top of my head, I would think enrollment in such a "carrot" program should be contingent upon the carrier making their GPRS access available as a prepaid service as well as voice. Not sure if carriers can selectively restrict access to AGPS, but I would add that baggage as well. OpenMoko is about openness. There is nothing open about term contracts.

Hi, There was some discussion about this in this thread: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-February/003045.html This phone is an unblocked quad-band phone, so it can connect to any GSM carrier. The only issue with a pre-paid phone may be recharging the phone if the carrier forces you to use some sort of custom on-screen interface to recharge it. It would be good to get reports of any problematic carriers after the initial phone is shipped! Good luck! - Terry Michael Sersen wrote: > Hello all! > I'm wondering about service in the US.
