Agreed. FreeRunner is my only phone as well. > The sound quality is "terrible" according to Joerg, but that has not > been my experience.

I believe that's just either a rumor based on the buzz problems of the past or wrong default ALSA settings (current SHR, Om2009, Debian I believe should be better than before). It's completely correct to say Neo is still not for everyone, but it is also likewise correct to say it's very usable for day-to-day phone usage for some people. It's also possible to "leave it as is" if one doesn't want to tweak / hack it for a while. In the winter I think I didn't touch anything from ca. December to late February, just used it. I had my tweaked Om2008.12 back then. Meanwhile, Om2009 looks like quite usable out-of-the-box already - I've it as a dual-boot together with Debian which I use mainly, and Om2009 is just simply usable. The latest test version seems to offer quite a bit of flexibility as well if one enables the "serenity" theme from the display settings menu. -Timo _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
