gta04 is a completely new design done from scratch (new
CPU/GPU/board/etc). It is slightly worse than the gta02
software-freedom wise:
a HSPA/UMTS chip was added instead of the Calypso GSM chip (supported
by OsmocomBB).
uses a PowerVR GPU that doesn't have specs (the glamo GPU, while crap,
does now have public GPU specs)
You should still be able to buy gta02, I'd suggest mailing the
openmoko community list:

I guess you are talking about gta04 there, which you can now buy
pre-assembled with gta02 parts:

There are also PDA and tablet (prototype) versions:

I have one, screen size isn't much of a problem, but the inset is too
much to reach corners with fingers. Thats ok if you use the right
distro, QtMoko (Debian derivative) is quite popular.
