I've been especially > focused on the RIL. Besides basic SIM access and network authentication, > you should be able to test phone calls (audio routing on A3 models still > missing), receive basic SMS (sending still missing) and connect to the > 3G mobile data network. The RIL is not yet very solid; If you cannot > connect to the network, a reboot, flight-mode toggle or mobile data > toggle might help.
