That's still less that $399. A mass-produced OpenMoko phone would cost
less (particularly if it was ready to use in the Chinese, Japanese and

Wow, this thread has gone really off topic :) But I figure I'd add in my 2c.
A GSM Data call can carry up to 9.6kb/s. Using a good voice codec

Meh, the fact that you can't even do something as simple as open the
thing up to replace the battery when it goes bad is enough to steer me
