I just don't care about the case. The black is cool, and the black/silver that I've seen in various photos looks pretty slick, but on balance, I'm buying a openmoko phone because it's a phone that I can do cool things with. That's why I'm buying it, not because it looks amazing so I can pop it out

I myself and all people I talked to think that that the black one has no style. Also the orange-white looks cool. It is not a blocker for me but would be for an average user who is not Open fan. Fancy color case is a must in the future. Stroller wrote: On 25 Apr 2008, at 16:25, Lowell Higl
