I know what you’re thinking… launching any cellphone immediately before or after the Apple iPhone juggernaut is unleashed on the (now) entire planet on July 11th is folly. If it ain’t from Steve Jobs, fuggedaboutit.

Well, other cellphone companies sell millions of phones still and there’s nothing wrong with choice. Enter the OpenMoko FreeRunner. Previously released in a developers-only version. Now, ready and prepped for the retail market, it brings the following specs:

* Size and Weight

• 6.5 ounces (185 grams)
