 We will be selling the Freerunner in the UK. The details are still  
 being worked out, but if you register we will keep you updated as  
 things change.

One thing that's unclear is whether the European distributors, such
 as yourselves, will be selling the 10-packs as well as single phones,
 or whether those are only coming from OpenMoko in the USA. Are you
 able to give an answer to this question at this point?

 Indeed.

 I'm not sure if the group sales thing is going to work in my area,  
 and the £20 saving of the 10-pack doesn't bother me too much, but I  
 do want the headset and whatever goodies are available as part of  
 the 10-pack. I'm almost tempted to buy a 10-pack myself and whack the  
 other 9 on fleaBay, but I don't think my credit card would stand it.

 If Truebox can offer the goodies then I'd love to purchase from them  
 - 420 Silbury Boulevard is just down the street from me, in fact, so  
 it would be easy to collect my Freerunner the *moment* it arrives.  
 I'll pop in for a chat tomorrow, Alastair, and scrounge a coffee from  
 you.

 Stroller.

Things are unclear at the moment, as you say. When we have some solid details 
we will post an update. In the meantime I would rather not speculate.

I'll take the collection, chat and coffee part off list.

   That's good. I'd rather see this kind of answer than oh yes, it's
all fine, and then be disappointed later. I'll go back to lurking in
my darkened corner again now and await further news...

   Thanks,
   Hugo.

2008-05-23 Thread Harry Tsai
Yes, people come from truebox, they are talking to me about become 
distributor in UK, I still waiting for their decision for build up real 
business relationship with openmoko like Pluster Germany and IDA system 
India.
I am expecting Truebox can help us to promote Freerunner in UK, if 
people ask me their position that I will say I hope they are my partner 
soon but so far they still aren't  in my list yet.


Hope my reply is clear for you all.
