upon further inspection it looks like your right, though I am still
hopeful based upon this entry in the FAQ.

Assuming that this is true, it only strengthens the case of the Neo
1973 and openmoko project. If the 850mhz issue resolved, I'll be
buying one. The ability to run various linux based platforms on the
Neo 1973 device is great. Furthermore this offers great opportunities
for porting the openmoko platform to any of the android based phones
that should be coming out in the next year. They will already have a
working kernel, etc.
