Neo1973 makes its premiere

**Fox** · 07-17-2007, 04:40 PM

I don't know if you guys have been following the OpenMoko project, but the Neo1973 linux smartphone just made its debut as a developer version this past week. It aims to be an iPhone killer, not necessarily in terms of raw sales numbers, but in features and hackability.

Take a look and tell me what you think: http://openmoko.com

Also, has anyone here tried the iPhone yet? I have, but I'll hold off my opinion until I see some feedback.

I saw the opemoko pictures like 1 year ago ( blogs+gizmodo) looks decent .

Question : how does tsf looks in iphone browser ?

I am holding to buy this kind of hardware until all the cellphone network upgrads to G3 technology .

I tried TSF- it's kind of squished; the screen really isn't as high-res as they would have you think, although it is extremely good looking otherwise.

The main thing that bugs me about the whole experience is that it doesn't even come close to living up to its promises in terms of internet browsing- there's really a lot of fidgiting that has to take place in order to get around online.
