Openmoko's Neo Freerunner
On July 4, 2008, Openmoko released the Neo Freerunner, their second generation free/open-source cell phone. On July 5, I ordered one. In the two weeks between placing the order and getting the phone, I went looking for reviews, and much to my surprise, couldn’t find any. Even Gizmodo and the like, as of this writing, seem to lack an actual review of the phone itself: all I see is software reviews, apparently based on development snapshots, rather than the software stack that actually ships with the phone. For lack of any reviews on the regular sites, I’ve decided to go ahead and write my own.
