I just backed this campaign.

Hopefully they make the 1.5M to start/continue the project properly.

They will return money if 1.5M is not raised but I rather loose my money to give them a shot of doing some good in the mobile market. We will get the linux phone someday. Hopefully its already this project.

Edit:
Actually no money is taken if goal is not met.

"if you back the campaign using a credit card, we only pre-authorize your card; we will not (and cannot) charge your card until we cross the goal. Which means, you get to show your support early and get all the other "wait-and-see" folks to pile on! Feel free to back this campaign now (and pay later). Be the change you want to see!"
