- deadbaby, on 10/10/2007, -2/+49I think they need a few more layers of packaging. Perhaps some sort of steel or carbon fiber inner shell would do.
- DevilsRejection, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40In case his site goes down: http://www.flickr.com/photos/devilsrejection/sets/72157601241811045/
Full size images too, unedied - kazamx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40Always nice to see these unpacking pics. Two things though, Please make these files smaller, at 800k a pic your connection will be dead if you hit front page. Also any chance of a bit of a write up to tell us about what using it is like? What currently works, what doesn't etc?
- RubberBinder, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26I can't wait for the final version.
- itanshi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26read the AT&T EULA/Privacy Policy and tell me how you like your identity sold
- D3koy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Judging by the last picture I'd say the proud owner of this new device is not human at all, but inf act a werewolf !
- crapatastic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Lol. "Batteries and soldering iron included". Well, if you read the packaging for the torx screwdriver (which is NOT a viable tool for soldering) it seems to send a mixed message. Seems something was lost in the translation.
As far as "Best partner of your hands", um I dunno how to score that contest. - spacebar14, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15Middle-clicking all those links makes me feel like I'm surfing porn.
- Bamborzled, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Why single Apple out? It's not like all the other cellphone manufacturers have closed phone OSes as well. Oh wait, they do.
- noots, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19i just WISH it looked even remotely decent. The concept of this phone is awesome, but to be truly successful it needs to look "cool".
- nights0223, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16I like it.
- uzusan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Only if you take a history class that includes the date the mobile phone was invented. i know mine didn't.
- klaxxon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I think he was mocking over9's use of "faggotry"....
- alakev, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11it's an open source joke, you can tell it the way you want to, but be sure to give the proper credit...
- sqrt7744, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16sorry -just for clarity- but you did mean "rapes" when you wrote "does do", right?
- disillusioned, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10They're just dev ones now--my friend just got his, turned it on, and was promptly greeted with a kernel panic. But he's updated and it's up and running now.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Don't worry, your data is traveling over AT&T lines too - you won't get left out.
- HA5TY, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13was it a mistake buying my iPhone.........I hope not : (
- catalysis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10I'd like to eventually see the user interface and the skins that people will make for it. Hopefully they can get it in good shape for an october release. This is definitely a cool project.
- foopirata, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9WHAT?
- rm999, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Sorry, the only thing that's worse than a "that's what she said" joke is one that doesn't work.
- CaptRR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I like the concept of this, though I think I will wait a little while and see what apps the community can come up with to take advantage of this thing.
- ghostfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Looks good. When the real one with wifi and upgraded components comes out later this year I'm for definitely getting one.
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15I can't wait for an attractive version.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+14Take history class and you'll understand the 1973 in the name.
- heavyd14, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7They do let third party apps on though. J2ME and Flash apps usually, but this should let native apps work
- keeganspeck, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9It wasn't a mistake buying the _iPhone_, it was a mistake not waiting for generation numero 2.
- schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11it's quite small (in a good way).
- eclectro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Maybe. maybe it's because they got so many orders that they are having a hard time dealing with demand. Which in the end is a good thing and will mean more support for the product and more software for the phone..
They might be crushed when they come out with the wifi version (which is what I'm waiting for). - sqrt7744, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6ahhh... Looks are all that matter to you then? Please be sure to conceal that personality trait when trying to find a woman to spend your life with. But good luck keeping her...
- 13thKid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5sound like this is to help to crack open the phone case, according to: http://www.lastpodcast.net/2007/06/28/openmoko-the-anti-iphone/
- g0atbutt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Does anyone know pricing and availability of this? I know it's just shipping to devs rights now, and word on street release date?
- kazamx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5On the blog they talk about how their ordering system got messed up. There were alot of problems and in the end needed to do each order by hand. This could explain your problems. Its all alpha/beta just now, Hardware, software, support, website.

Apache/1.3.34 Server at shakthimaan.com Port 80 - Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Something tells me that a cell phone, no matter how novel and amazing its concept, will never catch on in the mainstream market so long as it comes with a card that says 'some assembly required' and a soldering iron.
- leexy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Geez, what's with you kids and cameras?
- Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4We need people like Ha5ty to buy gen1 devices so that there will be a gen2... Thanks man!
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I can't wait for a functional version.
- KidVicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Could anyone tell me what the phone at the right of the first pic is? That looks like the coolest one of the three.
- Aard88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The guitar pick is to open the phone. I like the concept of hardware that they actually want you to mess with.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4that looks pretty good :), it sounds like it'll be a pretty decent spec phone once they've put them into production but can someone answer me 1 question about all the parts included
what is with getting a free guitar pick with the phone?? - DaleoftheUK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can't wait for the more commercial user version, once it's been developed on and hopefully have wi-fi added. (maybe even a camera)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I thought it'd be bigger (in a bad way).
- frostw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Fedex
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a dev phone -- it's not meant for the open market.
- wherl78, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a GSM unlocked phone. You can use any carrier that uses a GSM network by simply placing your sim card into it.
- sqrt7744, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3october, around 300 bucks.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Heh. YMMV of course: upon seeing that it's bigger than the 3110, my first thought was "man, it's too big!" ;D
- maoa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No need to say sorry- I regretted that as soon as I posted. :)
Damn this unforgiving comment system and lack of a delete button. At least it's only the inquisitive that are subjected to it... -
