Everyone from the international media reporting on this seems to have
missed a few key points:
1) The Greenphone is a development platform / tool. It was never
intended as a phone / end
    user device. Don't believe me? Check the old press releases from Trolltech.
2) Trolltech only produced 1000 Greenphones, as they said from the
start that they would do.
    They have now sold all units, which is a good thing.
3) Trolltech will still support the Greenphones that are out there.
For more, see the Trolltech press release:

BTW, I am not associated with Trolltech in any way, but I considered
the Greenphone before  settling on the Neo1973.
