The new openmoko phone (GTA03) will have a camera but no 3g. They say the chips are too expensive to add this feature to low volume phones. I think that if they added the feature, the volume might not be so low. 3g and a camera is a must for my brother, I just cant win with you openmoko.....damn you openmoko, damn.
