I like the idea, but honestly I think it'll be like the vast majority of open source/Linux stuff: unpolished, poorly thought out in several areas, and for geeks only.

that is the same concern I have, but, I will give it the benefit of doubt for now and check back later.

Looks sort of funny.

The biggest question I have with this device is about the battery life, actually.

Looks like a decent phone...some I would have picked up, if the iPhone were not out.

I still could, but its hardly worth it now.

Biggest question:

Does it come with that case?
