You can't build and redistribute your own Windows Mobile OS. You also can't get it for free, there is no freely available phone for developing your own Microsoft custom OS.

You can't simply take the Windows Mobile code, hack it around and improve it then share these improvements.

OpenMoko is a Linux based phone platform which allows anyone to contribute, ideas are taken on board, you can implement things yourself and have them accepted in the project. It's not about if the code is available, it is about if you can do anything with this code without being sued.

However, it IS a phone! One would think that on the list of important features for a phone, dialing would have to be pretty high up there, and in this regard it is clearly a step backwards. Now for some people that won't be any kind of issue at all, because they will just do what people have been doing for years with smartphones, and still keep a small backup phone in their pocket. However, part of the success of the recent crop of smartphones, like the Pearl, is that they have been good enough phones that you could actually use it all by itself without needing the backup.
