Not to mention that the N700 and 800 require closed drivers to
function properly, relegating them to second class support from the
community right out of the gate.  I'd _much_ rather have an OpenMoko
Neo1973.  _It's_ only downside is no wifi.  That'll supposedly be
fixed in the September version.  Otherwise, it's pretty much feature
for feature on par with the N800, plus it's a phone, and cheaper.
