since FICOpenMoko seems to have gotten out of competition against ASUSACerHTCHuaWeiNokiaEriccsonSonySamsungLGApple in the phone dept, which is a suitable option for someone who wants 3G data and the ability to run anything? N900 is $600, i'd rather get 3 $100-150 mainland-china/last-generation

Right now, the Palm Pre seems to come closest to the FreeRunner wrt. openness (albeit still miles away, of course). It has just been released in europe and work has started to port an own userland based on FSO to it. Cheers, :M: ___ Openmoko

Thats ok if you want to make a call out, but how can you call in if the phone is suspended - leaving it running will probably give a battery life of about 4 hours or so if not less. There is also the problem of how to attach the dongle - would look kinda weird with one of those silver usb cables
