Not "the free phone"

[Ben Burdette]

Great video!  the OFone, which way is up on this thing? 

I'd rather not go with oPhone, it sounds derivative of the iPhone.  Like 
the openmoko phone is a cheap wannabe iPhone.  I don't people to have 
that impression.

What about a nice industrial-style alphanumeric designation - like the 
'FIC A1'.  Or OM1.  Or FS1, whatever.  Kind of like how BMW names their 
cars.  You could come up with a feature specific naming scheme, then 
you'd never need to worry about what to name the phone. 

Another consideration might be to come up with a name that is search 
engine friendly.  The Open Phone would get a lot of non openmoko hits I 
bet.
