• Where/when will be able to buy these? We be able to modify it with our own cases and themes I'm sure. Or will we be able to get a PCB and buy the parts and build it?

• According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo1973 the hardware (the FIC Neo1973) will only available as a complete phone manufactured by FIC. Developer samples should be available for $350 on March 11 of this year.

  BTW, the hardware is only *mostly* open source. The GSM and GPS modules are both 100% proprietary with open and published interfaces. The GSM module is probably not available without prohibitive licenses, so this compromise may be the only way of making a phone project work.

• Here's a challenge for Makers. Do the same thing for a hard disk based music player. In other words design and build hardware specifically designed to run Rockbox.
