Close :-) I've been told that the case originally came from a
phone intended for the Chinese Olympics. The rounded form would
mimick the outline of the Olympic rings. This probably also
explains the rugged design.

As far as I know, that phone never made it to production and the
Openmoko project then inherited the device, radically changed
its internals, and so on.

Has there been any explanation of the guitar pick that shipped with
the GTA01? If I remember correctly, Sean said that it was an
interesting story that he'd tell one day. I never saw the follow up
though.

Cheers, Joseph

Well I know that, but a fingernail does the job just as well. In fact,
own the phone for a while and gravity will do the job for you.

Sean said, however, that there was a good story about choosing a
guitar pick as the case opener...
