Article: What happened to real open source phones?

[Toby D. Young]

Greetings,

I am glad to see someone saying that   :-)

I am also using my freerunner (with QtMoko) as my only phone and I am
also very happy with it. Of course, I also find a few "glitches"
now-and-then in the software/hardware; though things are continually
improving and more options are continually being added.

> FreeBSD cellphone shows up again.

I am hoping the GTA04 will turn into exactly that, and even so, the
freerunner feels pretty "real" to me   ;-) 

A big thumbs up from me to the people who have worked on making that a
realisation, and to the people who have sponsored them! I am looking
forward to placing my order....

Best,
	Toby
