Along with business trip and Motorola. I don't know if they already do it, but IMHO whenever a call comes in, the processes associated with the call should be given the highest priority and non-essential processes should be reniced temporarily to the background. I would love to show off my FR on my business trip to the UK tomorrow, but I can't take the risk: I have to be available all the time. So I have the map for London installed, and will use only the GPS. By the way, this page http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions says Qtopia does not have GPS.
