If anyone needs examples of how phones connect behind ones back, I can provide
a fair few.
I had the O2 XDA Orbit. It looks like a smashing phone, but the software on it

Hey Bryan,
This is a very interesting thread, it almost qualify as a very
primitive market report for OpenMoko. :-)
For me personally, I would like the phone to be a commercial success.
Commercial success means a higher chance of version 2 beyond of the

This should be put on the Wiki under Advocacy (or similar):

Greetings Rob and Sean,
Thank you for welcoming me to the community! I have played catch
up on the discussions going on here and it is very lively and
interesting. I am now very excited about OpenMoko! I can well

Hi all. I've been talking up OpenMoko to everyone I know, and I felt
like there may be some people around here who would be interested in
the reactions I've gotten.
The main camps are as you would expect: positively-excited,
negatively-excited, and indifferent. What I think is interesting, is

Hi Bryan,
That's quite interesting feedback. I have only really brought this subject
up with developer mates and one gadgetophile.
The heavily windows leaning developers have expressed a cool enthusiasm but

Just a few thoughts. I recently discovered OpenMoko while
