would like to propose asking the <A href="http://openmoko.com"
target=_blank>openmoko.com</A> to add a preorder form for stable developer
hardware platform. Something what they would consider a release candidate.
This would allow for developers just like me to finally use their credit
cards, and reduce the amount of pooling required. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>This probably won't happen. Some of the official Openmoko people can
chime in here, but I think that their current system/CC provider doesn't allow
them to accept orders on products that aren't shipping. <BR><BR><SPAN
class=923545421-21012008><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2> Is it
possible, then, to have a preorder list that would guarantee getting
the neo in the first shipment, with payments due when shipping
commences?</FONT></SPAN></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
