No, the FreeRunner is not a 3G phone and thus does not support HSDPA or HSUPA. I understand OpenMoko have tentative plans to do a 3G version for the one after the FreeRunner's successor. > Can the wifi in the phone be configured as an AP? The chip is an Atheros AR6001. Atheros chips often have very good Linux support, and this chip was chosen because of its good-quality GPL'd Linux drivers. I'd expect you to just be able to iwconfig it into 'master' mode, but I haven't tried it, so can't confirm for sure. -Jasper > > Cheers Don > > Jasper Bryant-Greene wrote: >> On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 07:21:10PM +1200, Daniel Hill wrote: >>> This is was intended to state that you should be able to use the Neo >>> FreeRunner on the telecom network >> Not yet, but once Telecom's GSM network is live, the GSM 850 version >> will work on the Telecom network. >>> but you can buy global mode phones already >>> are they dual gsm/cdma phones? >> Yes, the WorldMode phones are dual GSM/CDMA phones.
