Golden Delicious Computers (creators of OpenPhoenux / GTA04 openmoko replacement board) is announcing a fundraiser to produce first prototypes and kickstart mass production of the Neo900 open smartphone. Based on the electronics of the GTA04 open smartphone platform, the Neo900 will reuse the Nokia N900 case but contain a motherboard with a faster CPU, more RAM, an LTE modem and other additions when compared to the original Nokia N900 smartphone. In the Openmoko spirit the device will be fully hackable, supporting QtMoko, SHR, Debian, Replicant and any other operating system ported to it like Maemo, Ubuntu or Firefox OS. Visit http://neo900.org/specs for more detailed specifications or http://neo900.org/faq for a general FAQ. Here is a video presenting the idea: http://youtu.be/EJHMXQ3nSt0 If your donation is above 100 eur, then that amount will be deducted from your purchase of the final version of the Neo900. The final device (complete phone) is expected to be in the range of 500-700 eur.
