OpenMoko NEO 1973 Mobile Phone [Edit]

The iPhone Killer?




OpenMoko NEO 1973 Mobile Phone - The iPhone Killer? (VIDEO) 3,845 Views - Click for Larger Image

OpenMoko’s NEO 1973 mobile phone has a $300 price tag, it’s not locked to any provider and a Linux open-source operating system that will enable a relatively large number software developers to write inexpensive and maybe even free applications. It may not be quite as sexy looking as the iPhone but it’s no slacker and it does have the previously mentioned advantages.

After seemingly endless delays, the OpenMoko phone is here. The first version of the NEO 1973 mobile phone, which carries the Linux kernel inside and is not locked to a specific network, is available for purchase from OpenMoko.com. It's not as jaw-droppingly pretty as the iPhone, but it shares a design philosophy -- no buttons, just a screen -- and it's ready to be loaded with any number of open-source software applications. (Though, according to Gadget Lab, so is the iPhone). The base version of the NEO sells for $300. It has a 2.8" VGA touch screen, a micro SD card slot, a USB port and 2.5G GSM quad band capability.
