GTA03 - buttons or touchscreen

[Daniel Benoy]

Another option could be a simple flip phone with the standard telephone keypad.

Also, the demographic on the mailing list may be different from the demographic of openmoko's target market(s), so this vote might not be useful for them.

Despite that, I vote #3 and I would like a 'right click' ability too.  The combination would facilitate straight ports and standard window managers.
