keesj: OpenMoko lacks a keyboard and decent specs. OpenPandora doesn't exist yet, and might never at its current rate.

That's a way too generic statement. For myself, as a pre-orderer, I can say that I'll come out ahead by a go bit.

Not to mention OpenPandora is not a 100% free handheld. For a start, it has closed OGLES drivers.
But of course you'll at least be able to boot it from battery with only free software.
