I just got my Neo (yay)! First impressions: Flashing is frustratingly slow when you want to get tinkering ;) But really, the phone itself is a lot faster than I expected what with all the complaints; granted, optimizations may have crept in since then, but anyway I didn't feel it especially painful to use. Now, I'm used to the s60 N-gage, which may blind me to the lack of instant snappiness which _was_ present. ;] So it's not like it couldn't use improvement, just that it's not _that_ bad, IMAO. Of course, I haven't used it much yet, so my mileage may vary.
I managed to even make a call. Well, three, but the first were quite silent. I loaded up the ALSA mobile phone profile settings and called again, this time from the libgsm-cli (though apparently the calls from GUI did also go through, just with the silence). This resulted in massive feedback, but some words were able to be transmitted. On IRC a developer who shall remain anonymous mentioned that oh yeah, he'd had a phone with the earpiece shot, so he put the audio out of the stereo speakers (_right_ next to the mic) instead, and that seems to have ended up in a root image... At least there should be easy to fix then ;) For now, got a prepaid SIM for my Neo playing, not replacing my usual phone _just_ yet. USB networking works out of the box (well, after flashing), which is nice. Oh, and the Freedom Mini Bluetooth keyboard did snap, with its spring-hinge, the Neo solidly enough. Neo's bluetooth seemed disabled when I tried to run hidd, and I left it at that for now (BT was recognized during bootup, though, so I don't think it's faulty, probably just needs enabling). Further tinkering will have to wait until tonight. Thanks to the team; it's been a rocky road (I'm sure I don't even know how rocky exactly), and longer than expected, but a significant milestone has been reached. And it don't seem half bad. -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
