A couple of days ago Sean made a speech at ESC.
For anyone interested it is described here, with a video excerpt:

He talks about the level of freedom the Freerunner offers people
wanting to create a customized phone or those who want a development
phone.
He also explains what it would take to put 3G in the phones, saying
that they'd do it (but the 3G part would be closed) if a customer put
in a large enough order (ie 50,000 units).
Justyn.
ps. At this point I'd like to say that I'd seriously consider paying
up to $200 extra for a 3.5G-enabled OpenMoko phone (which, per the
speech, is what it would cost). But I definitely can't order 50,000 of
them.
