    Hi folks,

    I just received my FreeRunner yesterday, and I have a problem:
    The keyboard that shows up when I am going to enter my PIN code
    only has
    lower-case letters! There is no shift/caps lock either... Is this
    just a
    missing basic feature, or have my technology insight failed me?
    I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?).

    I would also like to know how to open a terminal (do I have to install
    one from the rep.?)...

    All help appreciated!

    you will too.

There's even joke about it :)

*Q: Why did the OM newbie log onto #openmoko?*

A: Because they had not read:

   *
         1. the wiki, and
         2. the topic

As then they would know you slide your finder up on the keyboard to get the numbers to enter your sim pin.

Cheers!

Well, I guess that confirms my newbmanship then :). I thought I had read all the important manuals and stuff...
Thanks a lot!

To enter your PIN, I guess you'll only need the numbers... or am I
incorrect here?
Yes, that is correct, but I didn't know that finger gestures on the keyboard would work. I even figured how to delete characters ;D

I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?).
Since that software is way over 1 year old, I suspect it would be
better to flash either SHR or QTMoko (or what is it called now?) to
improve battery life (a lot!) and gain stability.

I would also like to know how to open a terminal (do I have to install
one from the rep.?)...
If you install SHR, you'll get one. Not sure about Qt...
Yes, I noticed the power drain. I'll flash SHR since it is most used.
