I've seen September, October and Christmas of 2008. I'll believe it when I see it.

Too bad it will start with HTC and not Nokia.

BTW, i was wondering whether i Can install Android on my current phone? (N95 8GB)
(After launch of course :P)

David, Nokia aren't members of the Open Handset Alliance:

I guess it's possible that someone will work out how to do it but it won't be officially supported.

What?!?!?
How come Nokia isn't one of the members?
That's really strange.. :/

Is the list final? :|

BTW, thanks Tony :)

Not too enamored of cellphones to begin with, I wouldn't mind one that won't constrain me to some Steve's arbitrary control-freakery, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But, it NEEDS to be as well-designed and integrated hardware-software-anyware as the iPhone. Which I doubt this one will be, besides it's early days yet.... anybody seen close-up picts of that HTC Dream? (other than of these grainy videos that may or may not be it).

In any case, the "experience" (so far/ as it were) of the Neo Freerunner/ Open Moko-powered mobile phone isn't exactly... inspiring?
