I supported Omnia Turris project on indiegogo, their goal was 100k, they reached over 1.2M by the end. I think the open source (hardware + software) high end router is a bigger niche than opensource phone. Wish them best, this might be the FirefoxOS/UbuntuPhone we were waiting for!

Would an Open Source router have all the app ecosystem requirements that an open source phone may have though?

I am not sure I want to pay hundreds of dollars for a phone I cannot check my bank account on.
