I could run it alongside the OS I have on the phone now. Is it going to be
out for general use soon and what Phones can be used with it....

I agree, $700 is a lot for untested software, I would happily install
alongside Android, even at beta test stage, but I will not pay a months
rent for the privalige! I hope the project lives on but feel that a major
error of judgment was made setting the price point, and perhaps a tie in
with manufacturer / service provider was a better route to take.
I don't know anyone who buys their handset, they are bundled up with their
service contract.

Just my 0.02p worth
