It has touchscreen. For more info go to the source (openmoko.org) > mentioned?

Things are diffcult to judge on 3G, with Govt policy flip-flops heppening so often. I heard about a provider "ready" (after field-tests in Balgalore) for 3G services in May 2004 !!!! Similar stories came each year from almost all providers. Additonal scenarios: a. General Elections are due and decisions may (not?) get put-off, b. the providers may decide to enter in court-battles (the past flip-flops have been due to the contentious nature of the 3G spectrum allocation), c. the providers may not be able to provide painless service at the start These make me personally delay putting money into any 3G technology for the moment. However, it seems 2 years before it will be good enough for 3G in my hands. (My guess. Don't ask me to validate this. I refuse to do that !!!) The large market size may have some catalytic effect and may hasten the process. However, as I said before, it is difficult to guess how it will go.
