The GTA04 is a motherboard replacement for the Neo Freerunner or the Openmoko Neo 1973. Therefore you need such a device to install the new motherboard.

I hope they get beyond having such a rarefied audience.

True, but you can still buy the Neo Freerunner, and you'll see at the link I posted that you can order a complete phone (not sure how many they have parts for, but > 0).

Yes, I hope they/we get beyond such a narrow audience, but you have to start somewhere, and making cases is *hard* (though there have been small successes even there e.g. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/slyon)

Best of luck - we really do need this.
