FIC's first Linux based Mobile Phone.
See Neo1973 Hardware for more information on the hardware.
Around 2007-03-06 - 2007-03-07 Phase 0 developers received their devices.
Around 2007-03-25 Phase 1: Official Developer Launch We will sell the Neo1973 direct from openmoko.com for US$350 plus shipping. Sales and orders will be worldwide. We are specifically targeting open source community developers.
A few weeks after this, more announcements will be made as to the roadmap for future devices. 2007-09-11 Phase 2: Mass Market Sale This will have a faster CPU and "something else everyone has been asking for". (Said at 30:20 in the FOSDEM video.) Which is presumably either a camera or wifi. Online sales will continue. We will also be available in a retail stores and selected carriers around the world. At this point, we hope your mom and dad will want to buy a Neo1973, too.
The 2nd generation OpenMoko device will also be introduced at this time. We have something special in the works, but again, you will help shape this device.
The now-outdated by hardware delays original time line.
