Looking at it, reading the docs, I can honestly -
and humbly - say that this
is NOT ready. If you'd like to develop, then it's for you. If you'd like a
phone to use as a phone, then it's not. An iPhone is of more worth, iirc you
can load up some custom Linux distro on it too like on an iPod. I don't see
any benefit for the end-user aside from the "open" hardware. We don't get
a
refund if we open and destroy it along the way, unlike software where code
can be rolled back.
You can use the sold out GTA01 as phone, what makes you think you
can't use a newer revision as a phone?
Ray obviously didnt read this:

youve got 3 options. the GTK/openmoko stack (what Ray was likely talking about), Android
and Qtopia
and thats not including Asterisk/Ekiga/etc over Wifi
if you want to make cals right now, qtopia is praobly your best bet, in the 3 month to 1
year time frame, Android probably is. after that, maybe something completely
nonproprietary will pop up (Eg the GTK stuff will be finished)
