OpenMoko

OpenMoko is a completely open both hardware and software cell phone. The default OS is based on Qtopia, a Qt based Operating System.

The mobile phone features a full operating system, and it has been conceived to have great flexibility, giving place to many modifications and improvements to the included OS.

This phone is quite green yet, many features are in development right now, so this phone is not recommended for normal users. On the other hand, geeks and developers will surely enjoy this phone.
