New phone on the way using GTK+ and GNOME libraries

Following the success of Nokia with their Maemo environment it seems another product using our favourite open source framework is being worked on. Linux Devices cover the Neo1973 phone which will offer a lot of features comparable to the much touted Apple iPhone. There is also a email announcement from FIC explaining the device a little more in developer terms. Be sure to check out the photos in the linuxdevices article.

Bluetooth

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say, but I guess you're talking about FIC not promising Bluetooth for the first generation device. This is old news, they have confirmed that it will be in.

Not Maemo

It doesn't use Maemo, but the "OpenMoko" system based on the OpenEmbedded platform build tools. Just using some of the same stuff.

I don't think it's that ugly, though I want a non-colorful color scheme ;)

I've never bought a phone in my life -- I have just used other peoples leftover phones. I just haven't seen anything out of the ordinary so I never bothered upgraded my old phone. Until now, that is. I want this phone as soon as I can!

Oh my.. I... want one...
