An anonymous reader writes with an update to the updated Openmoko phone that's long been in the works (http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/12/01/1910213/openmokos-freerunner-rises-from-the-ashes). From the story at Linux For Devices:"German manufacturer Golden Delicious has begun shipping a hackable open source smartphone that runs a variety of Linux software, including a newly optimized Openmoko distro. The Openmoko GTA04 is available as a finished phone or as a board (http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Golden-Delicious-Openmoko-GTA04/) that slips into earlier Openmoko Neo Freerunner GTA01 and GTA02 cases, providing an 800MHz Texas Instruments DM3730 processor and a full range of sensors and wireless features."It's rather expensive for a mid-range Android phone, but far more interesting than fairly ordinary phones decked out with bling (http://www.yourdigitalspace.com/2011/01/worlds-top-10-most-expensive-cell-phones/).
