Hello -- I would like to use a Linux-based open-hardware phone for my phone communications. I would like to try Neo Freerunner. How do I do that? Namely:
1) Is there any particular kind of wireless carrier (in US) I need to subscribe to? 2) Do I need to tell the carrier that I shall be using a linux-based phone? 3) Can I use Nextel or ATT and T-mobile are my only national carrier options? 4) How do I get a SIM card for the phone? 5) Can I text (SMS) -- I intend on using Qtopia at the beginning? 6) Can I sync addresses etc with my desktop? I have been using Sprint (CDMA) -- so I am quite unfamiliar with the GSM world (and a phone that does not come with the service) -- I would appreciate any (obvious) tips on how to get from buying the FreeRunner to making and receiving calls and text messages. Thank you for your time -- Mike. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
