There are a few initiatives of people grouping together to get a freerunner.

Personally I'm not getting one any time soon. Having played with a Neo 1973 
and been on the openmoko mailing list, it's not for me. Instead I got a 
Nokia N82 which has a few features the OpenMoko doesn't, and more 
importantly - works and works reliably - which for me is more important in a 
phone than "Runs Linux".

Cheers,
