Nope, we won't close donations/preorders any time. Just the later you contribute the less you do for lowering the price and making options come true. E.G. I'm soon going to try and source maybe ~400 case/display/mech-at-large parts, based on our current number of preorders. Other chips like the 1GB of RAM all the same. It's not guaranteed we can source more of those components for late preorders, though of course we will try to secure our sources for them.

maemo 6 ??? dalvikvm on neo900 ?

Maemo 6 is called Harmattan (aka MeeGo) and has been used on Nokia N9/50. You are welcome to port it (however it's dead platform when Sailfish OS & Tizen is out), but the most important community effort is called NeoFremantle (or Freemantle, if you want) (you can find it's section here on TMO).
Also for sure, take a look on Aapo's Maemo Reloaded project, which is IMHO the true Maemo 6.

DalvikVM is the same. If you want to port it, port it.
Checkout 'Android inside chroot' (aka "NeoDroid" (?) ) thread where we are trying to "boot" Android inside LXC container (it's simillar stuff).

Stay tuned.

wow just wow finally the phone i want

just wanted to voice my joy about this project i think its great we are finally getting the phone WE want in the industry. the full tx rx irda, barometer and fm tx make this phone perfect. I will certainly be donating my time and money to this project.

got a small thought as well. well you could call it a brain far as i'm not to adept at things when it comes to electronics but for the next NEO phone you guys should consider using the nexus 1s' shell (and a better multi touch screen of course) its pogo pin and trackball design would make a perfect compliment to have all of the maximum specifications thinkable from the NEO900 into a majestic design.

maybe even borrow the m8s' power-slash-infrared port idea.

best of luck to all of you with this project! where can i donate!?

ps: do you guys have a bitcoin address ?

your enthusiasm reminded me how excited i am about it.
