Availability

Phase 0 (GTA01Bv3)

  • Phase 0: 36 developers have received their devices. [1]

Phase 1 (GTA01Bv4)

400 Phase 1 devices are ready, and 600 more will be ready during the next week. (Around 5th July)

They will be available to order on July 9th. Details of how to order will follow. The Neo Base will cost $300, the Neo Advanced will cost $450.

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

* Neo 1973 (GTA01B_v4)
* Battery
* Stylus
* Headset
* AC Charger
* 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 (2x)
* Stylus
* Headset
* AC Charger
* Phone Pouch
* Lanyard
* SanDisk 512MB MicroSD Card (2x)
* Mini USB Connectivity Cable (2x)
* USB Host Mode Cable
* Debug Flex Cable
* Debug Board v2 (JTAG and serial console)
* Ruggedized Toolbox with shoulder strap
* Guitar Pick (for opening case)

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.
