Had they launched at the start of the year I would have bought one. Right now though, Android isn't far away at all, and it'll be launching on hardware with 3G capabilities. I just can't justify the Freerunner. I’ve been excited about the Freerunner for a long while now. Had they launched at the start of the year I would have bought one.

But the fact of the matter is, but the price the features just don't cut it. It sounds like a lot of fun to screw around with, and if it were maybe $200 cheaper I’d seriously consider it.

Looking at other alternatives, Windows Mobile for instance, I can say that OpenMoko is fairly complete. And unlike proprietary stacks, you don’t have to be years waiting for a new version. You can always grab the latest version from upstream and make your own stack.

I own a windows mobile based device – the HTC wizard. Windows Mobile is so limited and useless that I’m currently helping in porting Linux to it.
For now I’m running GPE, but I’ll certainly try openmoko in the near future.
