There is a reasonably significant initial investment required to become
an OpenMoko distributor, and there is a lot of uncertainty around how
popular the device will be, given its limited audience.
Therefore, we would appreciate it if those who would purchase one or
more OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner devices

No, the FreeRunner is not a 3G phone and thus does not support HSDPA or
HSUPA. I understand OpenMoko have tentative plans to do a 3G version

The Neo FreeRunner is a standard GSM 900/1800/1900 unit and will operate
on the NZ Vodafone network.
Our company is currently in the process of becoming an official
distributor and will likely be offering them in NZ very soon. More
details on price etc shortly...

Defective equipment will be swapped out, the length of warranty we
provide will depend on what OpenMoko's terms are. We would swap a

I presume that TradeMe don't like being used to organise off-site selling.
i.e. they wouldn't get a cut of the final sale price of the phone,
therefore the listing violated their Terms Conditions.
I'd expect that the account that listed it was disabled now, too.

The OpenMoko is a GSM (GPRS, not HSDPA) phone.
Do they have plans for HSDPA?
