OpenMoko FreeRunner will be available for $399. As we expected last month, New OpenMoko next to the Neo 1973, This OpenMoko Neo1973 open-source Linux handset’s successor will be available in the near future. OpenMoko FreeRunner sports a faster processor than its predecessor and adds three-axis motion sensors to the mix.
As we saw before, the overall aesthetic of the FreeRunner is largely unchanged from the Neo1973, and the glorious VGA touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and microSD card slot also make the cut. The FreeRunner should lessen the open-source Linux handset-drought caused by dried-up OpenMoko Neo1973 supplies.
OpenMoko FreeRunner will ship from Openmoko.com at $399 by month’s end. Orginally the FreeRunner ( GTA02) was planned to come out in two packages. Basic and advanced, just like the Neo 1973. But, They killed that idea. There will only be one version of the FreeRunner for sale – a departure from the Neo1973’s availability in basic and advanced trim options.
For people who want to get a discount by buying more than one phone, OpenMoko created a 10Pack, instead of $399 per phone, they will charge $369 per phone.
