In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you all know that I work for
Openmoko. Also, as an Israeli living in the USA I have a strong personal
interest in helping Israeli developers get access to Openmoko as much as I
can.
Doron and I have talked and continue to be in contact and I (and Openmoko) are
trying to help Doron move this forward as much as we can.
Shachar has had a long conversation on the Openmoko mailing list regarding the
state (and difficulty) of support for bidirectional languages. I think that
currently all engineers at OM are so focused on getting Freerunner into full
mass production that it is a bit difficult to get their attention on other
issues right now.
My work email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'm happy to hear any questions,
comments, suggestions, or complaints either at this address or my work
address.
Regards,
Michael

He all,
( just landed from pairs, so it will be short )
1. I started the process with MOC (ministry of communication) and MOD
(ministry of deface ) (they also should approve the device)
2. according to the Israeli law and regulations - there is no possibility to
import pack of 10 devices - the limit for personal import is 3 .
3. there is no possibility to import personal import if the device is without
"Type Certification" ( Ishur sug) [and there is no possibility to get this
certification without a certification for trade license for cellphones ]
I finished part of the process , and I update FIC/openmoko about the status (
we are updating every 2-3 days) .
As I promised to Shachar after the process if someone want to buy the device
- I will help , as far as I can.
in Israel ther is few taxes that you need to pay : Mas Knia , Meches etc ( I
already have the GTA02 and the cost of shipment and taxes is almost 300$)

Hey there,
Anyone interested in joining an Israeli Openmoko Freerunner group sale?

Join the revolution :)
Sorry, I'm going to be doing some serious raining on the parade here. First
rain email:
According to someone who is trying to get a license to import these
commercially, you can only do personal import for under four units. Trying
to commercially import a cellular phone is a huge headache. It does not
appear that group sale to Israel will be possible.
