Re: Price of the Freerunner spare parts
I've been using my GTA01 as my regular phone for quite a while and I've got some chips, a crease and a dim spot on the screen where I always tapped it to bring the back light on. Having spare LCDs would be a good idea. Quoting Nils Faerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]: steve schrieb: Maybe I just create a spares product? with 3 batteries, and some other goodies thrown in? What goodies would go in that bag? Well, if would have to decide I would like to see a spare LCD/touch kit. The LCD is the most (mechanically) sensitive part and thus the easiest to break. If you look at ebay the best selling spare parts for other mobile phones are the LCDs - put it in your trouser's back pocket and sit on it - crack. Next after that is probably the battery cover - after some open/close cycles it might not close firmly anymore or the ears might simply break off accidentially.

Re: support for using yyyy-mm-dd (2008-01-31) date format in Wiki and elsewhere
How about insted of worrying about the way it's encoded we just write it January 1, 2008. I think that's pretty much standard. People can get confused about 2008-07-06 as much as they can 06-07-2008.

No excuse other than they're not use to the way it's formatted. People in the US can get confused about 2008-06-07 because we don't use that here. Writing out January 1, 2008 is just basic plain lanuage that no one in the world can possibly get confused about. P.S. This is, hands down, the dumbest thing in the world to argue about haha.

I can get any of the phone part of the phone to work. I have been playing around with the GSM AT command set and issuing commands to the modem manually and from the gsm tool. However I could not register it on the network. I looked further into it and I when i do: AT+CNUM it returns CME ERROR 10, and I looked at what that meant in the the GSM proto manual and it means SIM card not inserted. The sim card is inserted. Its an ATT prepaid simcard. I have tried it in other phones and it works, ive also tried other working sim cards (from ATT) in the neo and its a no go. I know the SIMs work, so I figure it is the neo. There was talk on IRC about 3.3v sims vs 5v, but I have no idea what to do with that. I'm stuck. I *dont* think I have a defective device, but I can't think of what else it would be. I just bought a T-Mobile (US) pay-as-you-go SIM (for hacking with until I decide to switch the old 6630 over.) Like the (ancient *OMNIPOINT*) SIM in the other phone, it didn't work the first time. Then I tapped the antenna icon with the stylus, got 3 choices - power on gsm antenna, auto register with network, power off gsm antenna. I picked power on gsm antenna... and the whole icon bar crashed :-) Then I hard powercycled it (hold down power button until the screen blanks, no menu comes up because that part is crashed) and when it came up, it was talking to the network... I know that sounds mystical, but if the pattern works for you, then maybe there's something worth diagnosing...

Re: Shipping, Billing, etc
I think you guys need to have a little more patience. If your phone doesn't get to you RIGHT NOW the world is not going to end. You'll have plenty of time after your phone gets to you to play with it. Relax, have a coffee and a danish and everything will be fine.

There has been very little info coming out from OpenMoko about the number of units of each type that have been ordered by developers and how many are available. Moreover, there hasn't been any information about where we are in the queue. All that has been said is that you get one email, then you get another email, then you get your dev unit. Do they expect me to keep hitting the refresh button like some blue-haired lady playing the nickel slots? I'm waiting for them to get us to send them a picture with a fish on my head, or holding up a sign that says 'I sleep with badgers' in Taiwanese. All in all the dire communication is the biggest problem. It appears that 2 people have had confirmation that their credit card has been charged, neither seems to have a tracking number and neither appears to have shipped. We know the neo1973's arrived on the 17th so why haven't more cards been charged and boxes shipped. I'd rather they stopped making dumb videos and started packing, billing and shipping.

Re: Replying to digests Was: Re: community Digest, Vol 36, Issue 48
The problem I see with only having IRC/mailing list is that there is no way to search through archived subjects. So if there was a widespread problem with the OpenMoko software, instead of posting a sticky in the forum about it, people are now basically forced to ask the same question over and over and over again. Sure it'll happen on a forum but not to the extent of a mailing list. Just last night I was on IRC and I must have seen people ask whos card has been billed 20 times. Just my 2 cents.

Ah, at least you're forthright and know yourself well... Ever occur to you two forum fans that the mailing list would work better if you used it right? Little matters such as: * If you're starting a new discussion thread, don't reply to an existing e-mail; it throws off the people who use thread-aware MUAs. * If you're replying to something in a digest cut out all the stuff you're not replying to and fix up the subject line. * TRIM! * TRIM SOME MORE! * If you're sending a Me Too reply, TRIM YET SOME MORE! (See Mathew Davis's follow up for a beautiful example of trimming. :-) I agree. My main problem with a forum is that all the ones I've have serious deficiencies, the biggest one being that it's really easy to lose new messages if you don't dedicate a block of time to reading all new messages (Sometimes in just one forum, sometimes site-wide). I have yet to see a forum software that doesn't mark them all read if you have an emergency in the middle and have to come back later. For some people that's fine, but I prefer that my e-mail box stores a flag in each message and lets me read on my own time. As for the rest, I concur. Good netiquette goes a long way.

IM application and other questions
First off I just wanted to say I am extremely excited for Monday's release and I hope I can get my order in for the first batch. Been following this project since it was announced in November. Since then I've compiled a couple different questions I was hoping you guys can help me out with. 1. Is the IM application SMS based or data plan based? 2. What time zone will Monday's release happen in? I want to be sitting at the computer, credit card in hand the minute openmoko.com is launched. I'm a greedy little bastard, I know. 3. What's the deal with the broken main menu icons? How have those not been fixed yet? ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
