Revision as of 12:20, 14 August 2008

Openmoko is still developing new phones. Each phone has an internal name before it's reaches it's final status. Here you can follow the development for nearby.

Contents

GTA04 (future)

The fourth Openmoko planned, GTA04, will be based on a different system-on-a-chip.

GTA03 (future)

The next phone, GTA03, will be based on the same system-on-a-chip as the Neo FreeRunner (GTA02). It will presumably differ from it by having a 3.5 mm TRS audio connector (instead of a 2.5 mm connector), EDGE and a camera. GTA03 will not include support for 3G networks.

GTA02 (Neo FreeRunner)

Main article: Neo FreeRunner


The device will hopefully go on sale for developers in future months.

Estimated time line

  • GTA02v3 design finalized - DONE
  • GTA02v3 power supply flaw found, GTA02v4 needed - DONE
  • GTA02v4 design finalized - DONE
  • GTA02v4 small number produced for Openmoko internal developer evaluation - DONE
  • GTA02v4 thorough evaluation by Openmoko internal developers - In progress
  • GTA02v4 flaw found, GTA02v5 needed - On hold while further development on drivers is done to ensure no further hardware bugs. - In progress
  • GTA02v5 design finalized - DONE
  • GTA02v5 small number produced for Openmoko internal developer evaluation - Done (around 20)
  • GTA02v5 thorough evaluation by Openmoko internal developers - Done
  • GTA02v5 produced in moderate volume - Done
  • GTA02v5 goes on sale to community via web store - Done


(For the very latest news, visit Community Updates, which also allows you to suggest questions or topics for future updates.)

It will have the following new hardware components:[1]

* Atheros 802.11 b/g WiFi
* Samsung S3C2442 B54 SoC @ 400Mhz
* SMedia Glamo3362 Graphics Accelerator
* 2x ST 3D Accelerometers
* 256MB Flash
* 128MB SDRAM
* 2MB NOR Flash
* 1200mAh Battery
* 2 LEDs illuminating the two buttons. 
* u-blox/Atmel ATR0635 GPS
* Bluetooth
* 850/1800/1900 Mhz or 900/1800/1900 Mhz for GSM/GPRS
* USB Host function with power

It will also lose:

* One speaker, becoming mono. 

We will sell this device through multiple channels. Direct from openmoko.com, the price will be $399 for the Neo Base and $99 for the debug board.

Adds to the Phase 1 phone (see side by side comparison):

  • 2D Graphics-Accelerator (in theory 3D - however driver is unlikely to be available to to lack of core dev time and inability to supply docs without NDA to third parties.
  • 2 Accelerometers
  • Faster CPU - S3C2442/400
  • WiFi: Atheros AR6K (see also [2])
    • Above from [3] and other sources
  • 500mA powered USB host
  • There will be no changes in the external housing, but internal plastics change. [4] [5]

GTA01Bv4 (Neo 1973)

Main article: Neo 1973 Phase 1


The Neo Base costed $300, with the Advanced kit costing $450. Both have now sold out.

See Neo 1973 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 Neo 1973:

* Neo 1973 (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 Neo 1973:

* Neo 1973 (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)
* Ruggedized Toolbox with shoulder strap
* Guitar Pick (for opening case)
* Torx T6 screwdriver

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

GTA03 (future)

The next phone, GTA03, will be based on the same system-on-a-chip as the Neo FreeRunner (GTA02). It will presumably differ from it by having a 3.5 mm TRS audio connector (instead of a 2.5 mm connector), EDGE and a camera. GTA03 will not include support for 3G networks.

GTA04 (future)

The fourth Openmoko planned, GTA04, will be based on a different system-on-a-chip.
