More info on Neo1973

At last, we have much more information concerning the Neo1973 Linux-based cellphone compared to the miserly snippet presented last month. What makes the quad-band GSM Neo1973 so interesting is the fact that it was designed from ground up to take advantage of both OpenMoKo and Windows Mobile platforms. Features include GPS connectivity, 128MB RAM, 64MB ROM, a microSD memory card slot, and a large 2.8″ VGA display. The processor is presumably a Samsung and runs within the 200MHz to 266MHz range. Chances are the Neo1973 comes with touchscreen capability due to the lack of buttons as shown. The ceiling price of $350 still remains, making the FIC Neo1973 a very interesting proposition when it is released in Q1 next year.
