You'll need to find some hardware to run it on, the Neo1973 won't
function in Japan. It's a GSM phone, and Japan's system is pretty much
completely WCDMA...

Subject: Using Openmoko in Japan

Hi all,
I just subscribed the Openmoko mail list and find that it is an active
community. I am more and more confident that the first open-source
cellular phone will become the mainstream in the near future. I am a
long-time Linux hacker working as a network engineer. I am a Chinese and
is transferred to Tokyo this June.
Is there any Openmoko enthusiasm in Japan? Probably we can have a
meeting sometime in Tokyo to get familiar each other and study the
potential to introduce the Neo1973 to Japan market. In my superficial
understanding, Japan mobile phone market is a very different market than
other countries. The cellular phone and the service in Japan are quite
unfriendly to the non-Japanese users. There are many expats as me in
Tokyo, who can't speak Japanese. Neo 1973 may be a gadget for them to
drive into an open world.


My email address is Jerry AT fusionsystems.org. email to me if you are
also interested in Openmoko for japan.


Regards,
Jerry Huang
