 Yes. There will be a new 2.5G GSM  module (2.5G = GSM+EDGE).

This is commonly mistaken, but:

2.5G = GSM with GPRS
2.75G = GSM with EDGE (=EGPRS)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5G and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution

Yeah, but FWIW, the whole G notation especially for fractions should be
taken out and shot ;]

it serves the same for marketing as megapixels or horsepower. its a simple 
number that a customer can look at, compare and figure that higher must be 
better...

so, who is up for firebombing some marketing deps?

 Ok.  Now that the FreeRunner is out, I'd like to discuss the GTA03 and
 04. I've been listening to this list for quite some time, and have
 jotted down a few things about the upcoming models.

 Please make sure I have all of this correct.  And if its correct, is it
 all on the Wiki? I can't find mention. thank you. ^-^

 GTA03
 Removed Glamo
 3.5mm audio jack(maybe with some of Joerg's Ideas about stereo line-in)
 based on existing 2442 arm v4 samsung soc
 camera
 different case design than 1973/freerunner
 vga screen
 different battery
 different GSM modem.  (I think 2G/EGDE)
 USB2.0-OTG


 GTA04
 USB2.0 will be here at the earliest
 different GSM chip than FreeRunner
 I heard something about the samsung 6400 soc. more powerful 2d
 acceleration than Glamo.
 3D?

 oh, and GTA03 != Dash Express, right?  a little confusion on that...
 thanks again

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmoko  GTA04 will likely
have 3G support as well. Is that correct?

Is no 3g motived by hardware limitations , licensing problems, or a
decision from the silent and mysterious design department ?

this has been discussed extensively only a few weeks ago.
please, do us all a favour and check the archives before bringing up  
questions that are apparently obvious.
the more obvious a question is the more likely has it already been  
answered.

Sorry my fault. GTA04 is completely unclear yet.
I read GTA03, where in fact you asked for 04.

It is not on the wiki because things may still change.

Yes. There will be a new 2.5G GSM  module (2.5G = GSM+EDGE).
Maybe this will solve the issues with newer sim cards.
 USB2.0-OTG
Yes. OM pays a lot for this.

 GTA04
 USB2.0 will be here at the earliest
 different GSM chip than FreeRunner
and maybe a different PMU:)
 I heard something about the samsung 6400 soc. more powerful 2d
 acceleration than Glamo.
 3D?
I am not sure about the 2D/3D. I think it is just some talk - lets wait
and see. It will prob. take a few years until it gets available, and then
hopefully with something newer than 2.5G networks.

Maybe different shape on the device. GTA04 will be a totally redesigned
and improved GTA.

 oh, and GTA03 != Dash Express, right?  a little confusion on that...

GTA03 != Dash Express

Isn't that part of the idea behind the wiki? Things of course do change, and
should be updated accordingly.  I don't see that as being a reason why this
information couldn't be put there. Just put a disclaimer that things may
change and/or be out of date.
