Interesting. i've been looking at that phone already, the only problem being that i'm a cdma user. But i may buy the phone for my dad :) Do let me know once you have any further info

Hi Rajeev,
Thanks for the reply. You might have noted that current release is Developer Version Release, it doesn't have stable OS and working applications. But with moderate hardware, its priced currently at 300$. I presume father would need a properly working phone. If you need fully working OpenMoko, you can wait till October and getter retail version at 450$ with better hardware or even you can get Linux based Motorola ROKR E6 currently at INR 14000/- with 1 GB Card.
If you are interested in the developer version and jumping into upgrading OS in October, do let me know. I am happy with hardware that current model as its priced 300$, won't be interested in paying 450$ for little better hardware.
Anyone knows whether Linux on Motorola ROKR E6 is upgradeable? -- Keep Smiling and Mailing,
