The Neo900 phone has tons of appeal for those who love to tinker. Rather than starting you off with a phone with a closed mobile platform, as part of the OpenPhoenux family, the Neo900 encourages users to port systems like Marmo, Ubuntu, Firefox or create their own.
No matter what you choose on the inside, the outside of the phone takes the form of a Neo900, which boasts improvements over the N900 model such as a faster CPU, additional RAM and a LTE modem. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all phone, the inner workings of this phone can be totally tailored to suit your needs, provided that you are savvy enough to take on the challenge.
