Well, this phone is programmable. Put the unwanted numbers on a blocking list, and have the FR auto-reject them without ringing. For something more creative, have the phone pretend to answer. It could "listen" to the sales pitch. When silence is detected, pick from a pool of short .wav files that say random stuff like "interesting, tell me more", "could you please repeat that?", "just a moment....<noises>.....where were we?", "could you take it from the beginning, my aunt wants to hear about that too!" Obviously, such a program should update the phone log with how much telemarketer time it has wasted. And a high-score list where you can see who has talked for the longest time before realizing that something was wrong. :-) Helge Hafting _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
