I have been talking to the Openmoko mailing list, the very CEO (or something 
like that) personally answered my questions.
I did talk to people that have used the phone for months.
They say it is reliable, flexible, and will take a USB keyboard!   :)
It is just a embedded Linux puter with phone capabilities.
And a full blown VGA screen (does anybody here remember CGA?)  ;-) 

I'm getting a Neo Freerunner...
Thanks!
