The Neo1973 is the first phone designed to run OpenMoko. It is manufactured by FIC who instigated the OpenMoko project.

If you just received a Neo1973 here are some suggestions for getting started.

Neo1973 Hardware and Disassembling Neo1973 have more information on the hardware.

See OpenMoko, OpenMokoFramework, MokoMakefile and Development resources for more information about source code.

See FAQ for other Frequently Asked Questions.

Availability

Phase 0 (GTA01Bv3)

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

Phase 1 (GTA01Bv4)

  • Official Developer Launch date is unknown. Join the announce mailing list to be notified when it's available.
    • Phase 0 eligible developers have received their free P1 devices.

When the Neo1973 ships, it will be available for order directly from openmoko.com for US$350 plus shipping. Sales and orders will be worldwide. We are specifically targeting open source community developers.

    • There also will be shipping from EU.[2] [3]
    • 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.
    • FIC can make as many phones as developers can buy. There might be 6 week delay at most if estimate is wrong. [4]
    • A few weeks after this, announcements will be made of the roadmap to future devices.

Phase 1+/1.5 (GTA02)

Adds to the Phase 1 phone:

  • 2D/3D-Graphics-Accelerator
  • 2 Accelerometers (model and number is uncertain)
  • 1700mAh Battery
  • 256MB flash
  • Faster CPU - S3C2442/400
  • WiFi: Atheros AR6K (see also [5])
    • Above from [6] and other sources
  • There will be no changes in the housing. [7]

There will be a discount for those that bought Phase 1 device. More info will be available before we start selling phase 1 phones. [8] [9]

Phase 2 (GTA02)

  • Originally estimated September, 2007 Mass Market Sale. [10]
    • Probably same hardware as Phase 1+, software is updated.
    • Online sales will continue.
    • We may also be available in a retail stores and from selected carriers around the world. [11]
    • At this point, we hope your Mom and Dad will want to buy a Neo1973, too.
  • The 2nd generation OpenMoko device will be introduced at this time. We have something special in the works, but again, you will help shape this device.
