Unboxing the OpenMoko phone —
What better to go with an open-source laptop than an open-source phone? 😉 The Neo1973’s a great looking phone, with the sharpest screen I’ve seen for the form factor. Congratulations to the OpenMoko team!

what happened to the black/silver design?
Reply ↓I liked that one better..
is that a skin or did you ditch that idea?
Will: The black/silver design is what’s being used on the newer models; the first prototypes were orange.
Personally, I prefer the orange because it goes well with the green OLPC. 😉

Reply ↓Are those KDE icons? sweet.
Reply ↓why it’s always writing NULL in empty fields?
Reply ↓Will it have a stylus touch screen (Palm Pilot) or Nav buttons. I saw this phone in POPSCI mag. Looking at this or an iPhone…
Reply ↓is there any mass edit plugs section? want to change my blog script – it’s wp now.
Reply ↓Looks awesome. Great work!
Reply ↓Wasn’t the color supposed to be black? Like in this picture:

Or will there be several version available?
Reply ↓I know, wrong place to ask, but maybe you know 🙂
Now this is *cool*. I must have one as soon as possible 😀
Reply ↓Just cant wait to lay my hands and code on this baby 🙂
Reply ↓Hope march comes in fast
I’m drooling over here!
A video of it in action is a great idea!
Reply ↓Nice pic 😉
Reply ↓Could you record a small vid of the phone in action? I’m curious to see it in movement 🙂
The rough schedule is that they will be available for developers sometime in March and to regular end users in September.
The interface there is default matchbox, but will look quite different once all the mockups are made real.
Being open, you can change it anyway you like… It’s using openembedded.org and ipkg (think embedded apt-get).
Reply ↓Hmm Gnome icons ! Schweeet 🙂
Reply ↓That looks darn cool
Reply ↓Whee, nice to see our icons explore new frontiers! 🙂
Reply ↓Funny to see a phone alongtogether with a notebook with about the same cpu-power 😉
Reply ↓though i hope the UI on the openmoko will be a lot better than on the olpc.
I’m so envious now.
Reply ↓now that is “serious business” ! when will it be available to the “public” ? 🙂
Reply ↓Yeah, they’re not quite ready yet — just a few have gone out, and one of them got brought into the office here.
Reply ↓I thought those weren’t ready yet? I must have one.
Reply ↓i want ONE O THIS!!!!!!!!
Reply ↓a friend of mine just got an openmoko a week ago – its really cool! we are both programmer and the ability to add your own stuff is pretty awesome. I’m gonna get one soon too, already thinking about stuff to add 🙂
