FIC's first Linux based Mobile Phone.

See Neo1973 Hardware for more information on the hardware.

See OpenMoko, OpenMokoFramework, MokoMakefile and Development resources for more information about source code.

Availability

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The now-outdated by hardware delays original time line.
