2007.2

Well, 2007.2, despite being the most stable thing Openmoko has
delivered, is unsupported and quite buggy - seems that stability wasn't
something that they were aiming for. So nobody uses it anymore.

Fast? Openmoko?

I think you have this device confused with one that doesn't suck big fat
hairy donkey balls.

The hardware doesn't support it. Or much of anything for that matter.

You should go for one that doesn't involve giving Openmoko your money.
For example, I just bought a blackberry, and it's great!

If you buy an Openmoko device, you're buying dead hardware with godawful
software from a dishonest company. Avoid.
