AceNik:
guys i had recommended this during the devcon too, i also feel it would be a nice chance to enter into a new phase of development & devices altogether, just if things could be worked out would b nice, i know, people have tried to get in contact with the "open moko" project guys, but there was no answer, probably their support system or contact system didnt function at that time  ;)

I got in touch with Harald Welte from the OpenMoko project:

this sounds like a lot of work, and a real waste of resources to me.
This device has a 266 (current model) or 400 MHz ARM920 CPU, with
640x480 display, very advanced audio codec/routing infrastructure,
sophisticated power management circuitry, ...

I believe you definitely want to run a media player on top of an
operating system in this kind of device.  It's a smartphone
architecture, basically PDA and phone in one case, not to be confused with
feature phones.

sale: unfortunately still not yet.  the battery doesn't have the proper
certifications yet, so we cannot ship any of the phones produced at
FIC's mass production factory in mainland china.
