yeah, the price really isn't awful considering.  I realized shortly after my post how much I payed for my 3200 on preorder (neigh 800 USD IIRC).  Funny how your perception of "expensive" changes when you buy imported japanese tech goodies

I know what you mean. My C3000 was $705 from PriveJapan years ago.
I'm in the market for a new phone and was looking hard at the BlackJack.....

All I freaking want is a linux smart phone!! But I can't seem to find one.

GreenPhone is said to be unstable for dialy use. Even Trolltech makes the point that it's a dev tool, not a daily use phone.

So RIM, Nokia and Apple are my only 'non MS' options out there and _none_ run linux.

sigh.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting after seeing Harald Welte's (a key Moko developer) latest blog entry.

I dunno... that sounds like loose ends near the end of a project ..and the frustration that goes with it just as easily as it could be taken to mean an endless, hopeless (phoneless) mire.

I wasn't planning to buy one far a little while anyway

iphone does not run under OS x

Wow!  That was a poorly researched article even by Slashdot standards.  The author shows no proof for that conclusion since no one outside of a small set of Apple and Cingular employees have even touched the thing.  

He makes it sound like it would be impossible to recompile the BSD components on ARM.     We better not tell the OpenBSD and NetBSD people on OESF about this or their Zauruses might stop working.    

I'm guessing that until June we won't find out any more goodies about this puppy.
I think I'm coming down with what kahm's got!  I now have 3 Zaurii in house!  ;)

Honestly I'm not sure about cingular or ATT.
 we have alascom gci and mta.  I do everything with gci--decent plans and easier to manage with one call.  Another reason I won't be getting an i-phone, maybe, though.
