SHR-U from september. I learned the caveats. I use my modified paroli too. It has bugs, problems, but I know almost all of them. If it starts with "cant init wifi service", I will not able to pick up the incoming call for example. The above bug I figured out in 2 months (why dont appear the incoming call screen in paroli). So there are bugs like this, but as I know all of them (never hang up the same time as the other party, because paroli/fso just freezes), I can workaround all of them. > If you don't use FR as your daily phone/PDA, what phone did you change > over to, and why?

I have awesome quality with Motorola old Razor phone (my gf has it), almost never have any issue (buzz, echo, etc) and she is at the same provider. But for example with almost all Samsung phone, they can hardly understand me. I have also problem with Nokia 6300, sometime my voice get chopped, and the other party too. So I hear from 1 sec only half sec, then nothing, another half second, then nothing. If I speak slooowly the other party can understand me. But I pretty often need to guess what the other party wanted to say. Also I have problem with people who have different provider then me (pannon vs. vodafone) What is worst, it has a serious social impact. There are people, who simply refuse to call me, because, my phone is "shitty". When the above "chopping" occurs, the other party starts to be really angry, and starts talking faster and louder, which makes the effect even worse. Talking to landline has no issue in general. So in my humble opinion the audio (hardware+software) on the freerunner is seriously fucked up, and what is worse, the key people never admitted the fact. I tried everything, I fighted with the issue more then 6 months now for a feature which is supposed to JUST WORKs. And I think my settings are the best possible what can be made. As the audio quality depends on the other party's phone (motorola is the best in general), and also the other's provider too, I dont think it can be ever adjusted from software... I only kept using this phone, because of the dictionary and the music listening with lyrics. Thats the only reason. And thats why I cant switch to an other phone.... I also hate the fact that I need to charge every day my freerunner. I will look into #1024 fix, just the situation is so frustrating. I also miss times to times the incoming call, because Im unable to hear the ringing...
