I think the openmoko is awesome. It is definitely the next phone for me. Unfortunetly, the creators of the moko did not add a camera, which is a deal breaker for my brother. The damn thing has Linux on X11, open source everything, GPS, bluetooth, wifi, usb portS, a card read that can take up to 16gb, an accelerometer and a better screen then the iphone.
I really think the lack of camera is what is KILLING the openmoko. The issue is that the processor in the moko does not support a cell phone camera. With a different chip, this would have been possible says the wiki. It kinda pisses me off that they did not include this feature in the new model. There is even a great place to put the camera if you look at the case; they could have probably put a few cameras. I would gladly pay more for the phone. I think if they had added a camera to the newest model, these phones would have really taken off. damn you openmoko! chris... On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 8:16 PM, Rodney D.
