I have to argue about this.

You may note that FreeRunnder is not produced any more by the original producer OpenMoko. This however does not mean that the users/community were dumped.
There are 15 distributions, most of them very active, supporting both the FreeRunner and Neo1973.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions

One of them is Android, with stable 1.5 and ongoing 2.x being actively developed.

In addition there is independent hardware project Neo Freerunner GTA04 with improved hardware, which you can fit inside old shell!

Now that is the uber-geek device!
