Finally the day has arrived, and I have Freed my phone ! When are you Freeing your phone?
Neo Free Runner from OpenMoko
Folks at the OpenMoko project have been working on Freeing every one’s phone — a phone that is build from Free Software, including the hardware design files — for some time now. You can get a developer edition of the phone from an OpenMoko reseller near you.
After playing around a bit with the software version that comes by default, I updated it to latest stable OpenMoko 2008.8 version. Let me go back and play with it now, I will come back and report later.
Cool! How much did it cost you ?
I bought it for 399 USD online. It is bit expensive for a simple phone. But it comes with the full GNU/Linux distribution including linux, X.org, dbus, enlightenment, wifi, web browser, GPS, Bluetooth …
You can connect the phone to the system with a USB cable and SSH into the phone !!
Cool, looking forward to reading all about cool openmoko hacks
waiting for the detailed review.
