Wired.com compiler blog has posted a hands on article on the new OpenMoko developer handset:

I got the chance to see the Neo 1973 prototype phone in the flesh today here at the OpenMoko booth at Ubuntu Live. This is the next generation open-platform phone that runs Linux. The picture above shows the device with a couple of batteries and a debug board. The guy standing next to me at the booth explained it best: “That’s what you plug it into whenever your software breaks it.” Notice the input jacks and the pale green reset button on the board.

My impressions of the hardware: it’s lightweight with a beautiful screen, but the small form factor coupled with the high-resolution display means the stylus will remain indispensable.
