 Schematics are available from [1]. I hope you'll find the cause and
 will be able to use your cool device again :)

 Basically, what you need to know is that charging is controlled by the
 PMU chip, PCF50633, it's connected over SPI bus and you can easily
 view dump of its registers from [2] (newer kernels might have a
 slightly different path but the same filename). Schematics are pretty
 much obvious but if you have any questions, feel free to ask here or
 on #openmoko-cdevel irc channel.

my experience is different. i didn't try iPhone myself, though. (i
refuse to use anything from a company like apple,) but i know two people
with iPhones and both would not buy one again. biggest problem for them
is that it is a bad phone (bad audio quality) and they lose calls
sometimes because it just does not ring. (never heard of any phone doing
that! ;-) ) second problem is the low resolution. dunno about the
touch, though.

 I'll do

that's why i suggested using $HOME because it should already be set
when omview starts up - so no need for any configuration.

 For now you can instead add your start directory to the desktop file.

this is also useful - thanks again!

 The only thing i recognized is, when receiving an sms while in

 from suspend.
 
 All messages which were received during suspend 'arrive' when the
 first sms comes in while the phone is awake.
 
 Sent 3 sms during suspend (always waited between until the phone
 suspended again), no alert. Wake the phone up manually, no alert.
 Send the first sms while awake. Phone alerts me that i have received 4
 new sms messages.
 
 Maybe someone can tell me where to report bugs in the QTopia image.

 Everybody has their preferences. I'd really like to see a second small

 There's no point in forcing that kind of thing down others' throat but
 that could be an optional image. If the lock is easy, I have no
 problem taking it off and dialing 112 in a hurry. I'm more worried
 about having to wait for my small linux computer to fully boot up
 while someone is bleeding to death in my arms.

you will need a rather full blown linux image in any case. for making a
call you need several hardware components (audio, gsm, display, maybe
gps) up and running so you depend on the kernel drivers AND even some
higher level userspace apps anyway. better to optimize the initial
bootup time to a minimum.

everyone can do what he thinks is right. a few years ago i also was one

 I'm sensing a business model that has OpenMoko focussing on selling
 general-purpose computing hardware (like Dell or ASUS). but in a
 handheld format, and letting the community or some third party
 (like Trolltech/Nokia) deal with the software issues, for the most
 part. 

if that was true, they would just throw some money at trolltech/nokia
