Hehe yes, the page is getting there now! Looks worthy to replace the two 
navigation menus now, thank you. +1.

I take the opportunity to oppose your secondary (third, fourth 
whatever!) navigational boxes. This is now a very good example. I mean 
the black box on the right side of:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Phones

First, on other pages (where it is longer), it looks like a TOC and I 
expect the page to scroll, not go away.

Second, if I take it as a menu, its random content change confuses me a 
lot, there is no way back and so on. Click "Neo FreeRunner", the menu 
metamorphoses into another! Click "Default Software" there, again.
"(Other distributions)", again, a very similar but different one.

Hm, and the introduction text in the box is also confusing sometimes, 
"Om 2008.8 is the successor of Om 2007.2". Since that's an intro, that 
sounds like if I was on the 2008.8 page.

Instead these we could add See Also links where necessary. And on the 
Phones page it's unnecessary.
