This is what i'd like to do with my LUG and some other people near me,
take the name, make only one order of 10 Neos and then give the phones
to the people. Obviously the price will not be lowered a lot, but the
shipping costs are usually divided so in total it will cost less to
everyone. We always do the same with thinkgeek things or some CDs or DVDs.
Just my 0.2€cent :D

The same also holds true if (and here comes the crazy part: correct me
if it's illegal) someone want's to buy a bunch of Freerunners (let's
say 10), customize them (with custom themes, programs, settings, maybe
even pre-filled data, some additional hardware, case mods, and much
more), and resell them, either to privates that want given features,
or to firms as a working phone, or for some specific application (for
example skiers, with custom software and theme).
Doing so would also allow to grow a family of hacks around the
openmoko (a version with a webcam? with build-in batteries? with r/c
sender incorporated? with wooden case?).
Just my two €-cents
There is nothing crazy about this idea. In fact, this is exactly what
we're planning for ;-)
Details will come later from Steve or Harry.
