Poked around a little more and found three of 'em, yep. :-)
Minor disconnect in Google, I guess; it couldn't keyword on
"OpenMoko" but I googled for something else (I forget what,
now, but it was probably "open Linux phone" or some such)
and was able to pull them up.
Interesting idea, admittedly; I don't know if I really need one
or not but a Trolltech phone would be a bit of a novelty. :-)
But if one steps back it's pretty obvious: a phone is an information
terminal, and information wants to be open, so... :-)
