[TriLUG] OpenMoko Linux phone

[David A. Cafaro]

One nice thing about GSM networks is if you have an open unlocked  
phone (Like my Palm branded not locked down Treo 650) you can put in  
any networks GSM card and use their network, as long as you have a  
valid plan.  Even international gsm networks.
