I have just moved from 2008.12 Kustomizer to SHR Testing and it works as a
daily phone just fine. Chatted on pidgin for a long time yesterday without
any problem for the first time. I shifted as I am traveling for the 2 months
and wont be in office for regular updates so needed a stable phone for
calling and sms.

I think once paroli becomes non full screen  (if it already has announcement
needed) more people will be interested in OM 2009 as they can have a stable
phone and also play mokomaze
