First North American OpenMoko/FreeRunners Arrive

holdenkarau writes "The North American OpenMoko FreeRunners are starting to arrive. It would appear that the OpenMoko still has problems with some 3G networks, including AT&T. Although, in my own personal completely unscientific test, 2 out of 3 AT&T SIM cards worked. Check out the unboxing of a complete FreeRunner (along with debug board) and my experience getting the FreeRunner up and running. Or a direct link to the pictures for those of you bored with text. If you feel brave enough to take the plunge, you can buy your own FreeRunner from the OpenMoko store."

Well I am certainly disappointed.

Freerunner my shiny metal ass

I was imagining linux-phone wielding geeks, running all over the place, doing acrobatic backflips and leaping all over buildings like that guy James Bond chased all over in Casino Royale and that bad-ass acrobatic French assassin Bruce Willis faced off with in Die Hard 4

And here I was so excited thinking badass Ninja Robot Freerunners you can own were coming to the U.S.

Bah.
