Welcome to the OpenMoko public Wiki
For other languages see the bottom of this page.

OpenMoko is an Open Source project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The OpenMoko project is a community that anyone can join, and help to design their ideal phone.

The Neo1973 is the first phone that OpenMoko will run on, eventually there will be many phones.

The long term goal of OpenMoko is that phone software is no longer tied to one phone. You can buy any compatible phone, and install any software over the whole range of phones. If you upgrade your phone, you don't lose the software.

Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the project resources including the OpenMoko wiki. Please see the wiki editing help page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A core team of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

An introduction page is available. The page has both photos and videos available. Moreover, the usual Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ, page might be helpful. Developers may find the daily software change log an important resource.

The members of the OpenMoko community would like to thank FIC Inc. for showing leadership and initiating the OpenMoko project.
