[TriLUG] OpenMoko Linux phone

[Kevin J.]

This will likely be the next phone I purchase as well, given the number of features for the price. It is still in pre-Alpha stages though according to their site. 

Any idea if this phone will be able to work on any particular cell phone system(s)? I find it difficult to imagine that the large cell phone carriers will allow this phone on their network. Nokia is making a big push for open phones, it seems, so perhaps that will change in the next year or two.

I'll tell you what, I am one of the last people to get excited about a
cell phone, but I'm sitting on a busted Nokia 6010 just trying to hold
out until this is released and a little more polished.

The iPhone didn't get me excited at all.

This phone gets me excited.
