Well, considering that openmoko re-invented their telephony stack three times, it does sound slightly hypocritical to complain about others being NiH..
FSO already some overlap with telepathy (I wouldn't say NiH as a big percentage of FSO is gsm-specific which does not exist in telepathy), so it would also be interesting to hear how telepathy and oFone compare/overlap/co-operate.

Nokia's Maemo uses telepathy (it was the first to deploy a Telepathy-based client with libjingle for GTalk audio support, as far as I can tell), so this might actually explain why FSO is not being reused.
The next-generation Internet Tablets will finally have GSM/3G capability, so my guess would be that oFono is meant specifically for that purpose: giving Maemo in particular (and GNOME Mobile in general) a cellular stack that integrates well with other standard components.

That'd be great. Possibly the only thing missing for me to buy a Maemo tablet.

Or presumably they don't want to let people play with voice on an open device.

I'd be surprised to see the Maemo 5 device(s) marketed as phones, and sold through normal mobile contracts though.
