The openmoko is available at a lower price if you buy five at a time so I asked around on slashdot for other people from Melbourne who were interested in buying these phones. So far I have three takers and one maybe. Thats good enough for me.

I have placed an order for a pack of five phones. When they arrive I plan to distribute three or four (depending on how it goes) to the other owners.

I may have one phone free so let me know if you are in Australia and you want to own an openmoko.

I have started getting emails from the dispatch system. The phones are in Ontario, California. The total mass of the package is 3.1 kg. There are several airports in the immediate area. Perhaps it will be shipped soon.

The package departed Ontario, California at 3:08 AM on the 28th of July. I will check on it in the morning.

UPS have advised me that the phones should arrive Thursday morning.

The three remaining phones are being delivered to their new owners.
