Neo FreeRunner with OpenMoko on 7th July

[Exploited]

Neo FreeRunner (the OpenMoko phone) should be out on the market on 7th July 2008. The GSM will be running only on 850 MHz and 900 MHz networks and it should cost not more than $399 US dollars...

That's non-moto news but I know we have few OpenMoko lovers out there

Edit: Actually it is already on sale on openmoko com

Specifications! (man, this is a great phone!)

The specs share some features with the previous Neo1973 such as:
A very high resolution touch screen (1.7" x 2.27" - 43mm x 58mm) 480x640 pixels
128MB SDRAM memory to allow operation of many applications at once
Internal GPS module for map and tracking programs
Bluetooth for local data exchange
Physical appearance will be the same as the Neo1973 (see openmoko.com for more) but will gain the additional features of:


-802.11 b/g WiFi for fast web browsing and data transfer
-A faster 400Mhz processor (up from 266MHz)
-A hardware Graphics Accelerator chip allowing the acceleration of a limited set of operations.
 *Unfortunately, this is on a shared slow (7M/s) bus with the SD card.
-2 3D accelerometers so that the phone can know its orientation for example switching to landscape mode automatically
-2 LEDs illuminating the two buttons on the rim of the case (one bi color (blue|orange) behind the power button, 1 uni color (red) behind the aux button)
-Tri-band GSM and GPRS for North America (850/1800/1900 Mhz) and the rest of the world (900/1800/1900 Mhz)
-USB Host function with 500mA power allowing you to power USB devices for short periods (will drain the FreeRunner battery faster)
