My blog, Freerunner FIrst Impressions and some pics

[steve]

All of the initial phones that ship from Openmoko.com are planned to ship
with the legacy version of the Openmoko Stack and it's GTK applications.

The base set of applications, dialer, SMS, and contacts, have been released
to manufacturing.  So anyone who wants to take this release and build on it
is free to do so.

We will also make available for download a new set of applications and
QTopia. I don’t have a final release date or gold master date on those
applications, but what we have shown people in the ASU is definitely pre
alpha. 

Until the new software is ready for manufacturing release the phones will
ship with the familiar old stack.

No problem. :)

It actually came installed with an older version of the Openmoko
Stack, with the familiar GTK applications. It didn't work very well
and it's since been erased. :) I am under the impression that the
version shipped once it's on sale will have a small set of Qtopia
based applications working and that updates will be released shortly
after that to add functionality.

So, what came installed on the one I have probably won't be installed
on the ones purchased from Openmoko.com or from a reseller.

I wrote "The Freerunner doesn't come without accessories, however."
which is probably a bit confusing. :) My apologies. This means it DID
come with some. "It is not lacking accessories" is probably a more
clear way to phrase that.

You're doing well enough. :) Any questions you have might help me
decide what ends up in the reviews I write, so I'd appreciate the
input. :)
