Good thing is, that we also are already planning the gta05, and there I'm organizing an amazing, cool and totally innovative new chassis in addition. Can't tell too much as long as the specs are not CC-License, but: It's TOTALLY cool ;-D New chassis? Do you accept wishlist items - such as a

Hi all, while I am still fiddling with GTA04 production yield issues, I think it is important to reason about the big view. So I would like to encourage to share what you are working on (kernel? driver? user space?) and what you think would bring forward the Openmoko community a small or

May I ask why you need a (mechanical) keyboard? Because typing text on hardware keyboard (at least, one on N900 or on SonyEricsson sk18i that I'm using currently) is 10 times faster than doing so on any onscreen keyboard I've seen. Having keyboard actually turns a phone (i.e. device to do

The GTA04 is not only designed as a motherboard replacement for the Openmoko devices, but also as a core module to easily develop other devices from it. /me is interested if it is possible to put this into case of any currently-on-market phone with hardware keyboard (perhaps throwing away

It has become a little quiet here in the last weeks so that I really fear about the spirit and status of this community. So what are your dreams with respect to open mobile handhelds? What would you like as future hardware? What to see in software distros? Anything else? What missing piece

we have developed a prototype for a 80 button QWERTY keyboard PCB ... That's cool news, thet put some hope on top of current lots-of-garbage-but-no-usable-device style smartphone market. b) design a 3D printable case with key-caps that is robust enough I suggest using a scissor mechanism
