Ok, thank you. I'm really looking forward to buying one ASAP. >> Also, the ReplicantOS project purposely does not provide proprietary wifi >> and modem drivers.

Great! Do you know which other features will not work on ReplicantOS + Neo900 without a proprietary firmware blob or driver? The information on this page related to the GTA04 worries me: http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantStatus#Replicant-42 Maybe they could add a new row for Neo900 if the chips and status information are different than the GTA04.
