I'm interested in things like this too. If you haven't heard of it there is also the Qtopia Greenphone by Trolltech[1] There was a presentation on it at LCA and it looks fairly cool. I don't know what the status of the Openmoko is at the moment but you can buy the Greenphone for US$695 [1]http://www.trolltech.com/products/qtopia/greenphone -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's VoIP supplier
