and as soon as wifi is available I am gonna buy the Neo Advanced.
I think that Linux and the Open Source community have really missed out on some of the easiest marketing there can be: "Free" software. I know that is what initially caught my interest in the Open Source market. Eventually the sticker shock wore off and I started seeing the upsides of Open Source, besides the price.
The phone however, would be a needed edition to the Open Source community. It would give them entry into a market that isn't as open to it as some of the others markets (Appliances, Server Market, Desktop Market, etc).
I still think people see Open Source as insecure software because everyone can see the code, instead of being more secure because everyone can see the code.

but don't you think the fact that everyone can see the code makes it more reliable? think about it - you have all developers able to fix problems and close holes easily and quickly. vs. the closed source model where fixes have to go through red tape and a much smaller amount of programmers working to fix a problem.
If this thing is able to play MP3s as ring tones, then that would be the best marketing point. People LOVE their ring tones. Just transfer a song from your computer to your phone, and simply set it as your ring tone, that would sell the phone to the masses. It being open source, there are your developer and hacker markets. This thing should be an easy sell if they can get it on the right cell networks and if it functions properly.
