Hello Philippe,<br><br>There are a few major reasons why puchasing just the mainboard is not feasible for OpenMoko and the community. The cost of the board was projected to be ~80% of the base kit, therefore if the base phone is going to retail for $450, the mainboard will hover around ~$350, in that case making in not practical to just sell the mainboard. In addition, it's better to have more fully functioning OM phones floating around.<br>
