The Neo1973 is the first phone designed to run OpenMoko. It is a phone that can be used with any GSM operator, and it is manufactured by FIC who instigated the OpenMoko project.

See Neo1973 Hardware for what components GTA01B_v04 contains.

Neo Base -- everything the mobile application developer needs to enjoy the benefits of the first freed phone, the Neo1973:

* Neo1973 (GTA01B_v4)
* Battery (1200mAh)
* Stylus
* Headset
* Phone Pouch
* Lanyard
* SanDisk 512MB MicroSD Card
* Mini USB Connectivity Cable

Neo Advanced -- everything the mobile device hacker wants to get down and dirty with the first freed phone, the Neo1973:

* Neo1973 (GTA01B_v4)
* Battery (1200mAh) (2x)
* Stylus
* Headset
* Phone Pouch
* Lanyard
* SanDisk 512MB MicroSD Card (2x)
* Mini USB Connectivity Cable (2x)
* Debug Flex Cable
* Debug Board v2 (JTAG and serial console)

You do not need the Advanced package to do normal kernel, or application development, only perhaps hacking on u-boot.

As described in Sean's post on mailing list (with some adjustments/corrections).
