OpenMoko arrived: Revision 2

After four (4) weeks of waiting from the moment credit card has been charged, it finally arrived. It seems that shipping GSM-like devices to Croatia as person (as opposed to company) isn't something envisioned by Hrvatske agencije za telekomunikacije so we had to get additional papers (most of which I don't have) and in the end they settled with hardware specification of Neo1973 from OpenMoko wiki.

I must say that people all over the process where helpful and nice: we had to communicate much more with them then I hoped, but in the end it worked out o.k.

And now several obligatory pictures (hopefully not redundant :-)

After that I got rootfs flashed and I now have new (semi-functional) phone :-)
