Sorry, but I must append here my unqualified comments:

Nikolaus hast spent many month in developing the GTA04 prototype. I really 
don't know how he managed this at all, since I guess that his company is a 
rather small one. Buying electronic parts, making the PCB's etc already 
costed him very likely a huge amount of money if you consider his 
named price of a single GTA04 board.

We, the readers of this mailinglist are now asked to be his 'investors' to 
keep this project go on.

I for myself bought several things from Nikolaus' and Pulster's shop, just 
to keep them alive. They are some of the greatest guys in open 
development business.

It's not that I'm swimming in money, but this is the first phone with a 
real market-price. It costs what it's worth.
Support the hardware development, and still, the software will be free of 
charge (which again is an incredible amount of time invested by 
volunteers).
