My freerunner is somewhere in my old computerstuff bin, but the idea of having a completely open phone is still something I'm interested in.
They had grandiose visions (mesh networking), but all I really wanted was rock solid calling and wifi. It's actually only recently (last year) that I moved to a smart phone, otherwise I'd happily support an open phone.
Also, I believe the freerunner was not 100% open. My recollection was that both the GSM driver (either firmware or device driver) and the graphics driver (openmoko was unable to open up the source to the device driver although they tried) were closed.
