• Phase 1: Production should happen late May Official Developer Launch date is unknown. Join the announce mailing list to be notified when it's available.
  • There were two production runs scheduled, for May 10th and 20th, but these have been delayed.

  • There also will be shipping from EU.[3] [4]
  • At this time the phone will be a working touchscreen phone, but little more. It depends on you and the rest of the community to polish it into a fully usable device.

  • WiFi: Atheros AR6K (see also [8])
  • The hardware will update with a faster CPU and "something else everyone has been asking for". (Said at 30:20 in the FOSDEM video.) Which is presumably either a camera or wifi. (about CPU see also [9])
  • There will be no changes in housing. [10]
  • It will probably include an upgrade to 1GB on-board flash. [11]
  • There will be discount for those that bought Phase 1 device. More info will be available before we start selling phase 1 phones. [12] [13]
