No. Openmoko decided that the case didn't "add value" in a way that was unique to Openmoko or central to their "core competencies". Consequently they never shipped the hardcase with the Freerunner - it was only available with GTA01 - and this was reflected in GTA02's pricing. You can order a hardcase from Pelican yourself, and there are online suppliers who can custom cut the foam for you. > The one noticeable bug is that the digitizer/UI totally loses it's > calibration when the screen gets flipped into landscape mode. > I'm downloading the 2008.12 distro as I type this and I'm going to > flash it as soon as it's done downloading. > > So far, for the whole two or three hours I've had it, I'm liking it. > ...Time to go flash some firmware. The firmware supplied on your new Freerunner is quite old, so you really shouldn't judge the phone on the basis of it. I am quite glad your impressions are so positive, considering that.
