Openmoko group:
It's October now. Does anybody know when they will start selling them to the masses?
Early next year hopefully; the hardware (Neo) is likely to be ready before the software (OpenMoko) from the looks of it, and you'll be able to buy a final-ish version of the phone before the software is "mass market" ready I think - maybe even late this year.
What I would like to see, eventually, is a database of vendors who sell "free"d hardware like openmoko or laptops without any proprietary software on them.
Well, the Neo has proprietary software "on it" if you count the internal modem. I'm not sure how interesting a list that would be, particularly if you count firmware - the number of devices would basically be zero.
There is always some aspect of a device which is proprietary.
