So you want [to at least consider holding off until more information
regarding] the upcoming Nokia N900 "Rover" Internet Tablet based on
Linux [is released, including an official statement from Nokia that
the tablet has all the software stacks in place to support voice via
the 3G modem and not just data], which supports both wired (using an
appropriate cable and switching the USB port to host mode via software
readily available from the maemo extras repository which adds a nice
extra friendly icon in the control panel) and bluetooth (which I
recommend) keyboards. OpenSSH (or Dropbear if you are so inclined) can
easily be installed from the maemo extras repository to facilitate all
your logging into and out of needs.

That is correct. Just how much work you need to apply to make it "just
work" depends on (off the top of my head):
a) Your definition of "work"
b) Your expectations
c) Your experience with Linux
d) Your free time
e) Your cranium bashing index
f) Which distro you picked
g) How much documentation you are willing, and have the time, to read.
h) Your experience with Linux
i) The size of your fingers (smaller and nimbler is better)
j) Your tolerance for small on screen keyboards (what do you think you
will have to do to get that nice large keyboard to work? Compare that
to the nice finger friendly GUI in the Internet Tablets)
k) Your tolerance for small on screen keyboards (what do you do when
you need to reply to an SMS and don't have your full size keyboard
with you, or time to set it up?)
l) How much time you are willing to spend flashing it (openmoko:
depending on size of image, up to tens of minutes. Internet tablet:
seconds. literally. no exaggeration. I was surprised myself when I
first upgraded the OS on my N800).
m) Your expectations
n) Your definition of "work"

I believe I saw a figure mentioned in a recent thread of "about three
months" to get the Freerunner to a state where it would operate how
that particular person could use it as their daily phone. I wouldn't
be surprised if that was exaggerated, then again, from my own
experiences I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

Personally I have my phone in a state where it is usable as a daily
phone and have been unwilling to change it since then. I prefer the
annoying bugs I know to the bugs I don't since it is now my main phone
and I can't really afford to risk breaking it yet again.



Don't let me put you off the Freerunner any more than I already have -
as evidenced by this mailing list there are clearly plenty of people
who swear by and love the phone to death, but there are many people
who have been sorely disappointed by the Freerunner and I don't want
you only getting one side of the story and ending up disappointed
yourself.



Eagerly awaiting the launch of the N900 so I can ditch this Freerunner,

I use it with Debian on a day to day basis. Requires more work than
eg. SHR or Om2009 distros, but then you get... Debian. I do have
Om2009 as a dual-boot option, though, for backup (and since I don't

> Will it talk to the AT&T's US network?
Sure, sure. I got my FR, and called up AT&T saying I wanted a GoPhone plan
and a SIM card, but I already had a phone. They didn't give me any trouble
at all.

> What do I tell them?
You don't have to tell them anything, but I told them I had a Freerunner.
The agent didn't know what it was, so I explained. They haven't contacted me
since saying "You can't use THAT phone!!" so I think it's OK.

NOTE: you will want to know your IMEI (it's printed on phone, under the
battery) before calling, since I had some trouble getting it when they
asked. The usual *#06# USSD code does not work. The agent told me to dial
that, and tell him the number. When it didn't work, I had to ask what that
number was called (I didn't know at the time) and quickly ask in the chat
room how to find it. Lucky someone was there who knew! LOL

Slight correction on my part: If you already have AT&T service, there  
is no need to tell them anything. Just swap the SIM card out of your  
old phone and into the Freerunner.

Yes, I just recently I got a "pay as you go" phone (cheapest phone, they would 
not sell just the SIM for pay-as-you-go service, but would for a contract) -- 
took SIM out (it was 3G-capable, but would not make FR 3G, obviously), put it 
into FR -- got service under OM 2008.8, 2008.12, QT extended-improved, 
Android, and recent OM 2009 (with Paroli). 

T-Mobile has very similar setup with pay-as-you-go and contract wireless 
service.

> What do I tell them?

What kind of plan/service you need, and whether you need SIM or a cheap phone 
-- that's all.

I use the freerunner as my daily mobile phone, using the "SHR unstable"
software. The phone and gps parts works flawlessly. I have some problems
with wifi, but that can be solved by installing a different linux kernel.

> Will it talk to the AT&T's US network?
Assuming that is a GSM network. There certainly are other americans
using the freerunner.

> What do I tell them? 
AT&T?  Tell them you have a gsm phone and need a SIM card from them.

You can attach a real USB keyboard to it - sure.  Connect to a network
using wifi or gprs, and then you can indeed use ssh to your server too.


Most of the reason for "developer phone" is that it doesn't all
work "out of the box":

* The phone comes with very old software, the first thing you want to
   do is to upgrade to a modern linux distribution. There are several
   to choose from. Flashing isn't that hard, but is not for _everybody_.

* You can attach any USB device that linux supports. This is a lot,
   and definitely includes keyboards. However, you may have to change
   some settings to turn the phone into a "usb host" instead of
   being the "usb device" it usually is. Some distributions makes this
   easier than others. You may also need a powered hub - I believe the
   phone won't provide power to your keyboard.

   Alternatively, make a cable that can power both the phone and
   the keyboard at the same time. Don't think you can buy those anywhere,
   but there is documentation.

   ssh is standard software, included in most distributions.

You can try fatfingershell. I will try to release a new version

The idea is to have a good terminal with a fullscreen real keyboard.

Thanks!   :) 

In the statement:
>> Openmoko:Good? 80%
>> Android:Good? 60%
>> default:SHR :)

Is the: "I can reliable communicate using this phone" part inside the 80-60% 
or inside the 20-40%?
Where does the "I can attach a REAL keyboard and open an SSH shell" 
statement fit? 

And finally:
>> default:SHR :)
What does "SHR" mean?
Will it be better or worse than (fill in the blanks)
Or, in other words:
Which OS deliveries the most reliability on the phone so far?
Which OS deliveries the most freedom? 

Again, thanks!
I'm liking the Freerunner way better then the Iphone already...   :)

Re: Hello world. Is the Neo Freerunner dead?

2009-07-07 Thread lists
THANKS!   :)
I did read it:
It says the the successor of the the Freerunner is canceled, but what about 
the Freerunner itself?
Is it still in production?
If alive, can the Freerunner be used reliably for business on a day to day 
basis?
Under what system?
Will it talk to the AT&T's US network?
What do I tell them? 

The "Developers only" ubiquitous tag seems to suggest that it may not "just 
work".
Or does it?
If I can reliable place and receive calls, attach a REAL keyboard to it, and 
open an SSH shell to my server, I want one!   :)
Again, thanks!
Enrique

Subject: Hello world. Is the Neo Freerunner dead?

Yep...
Hello there... 

Apologies if I am beating the dead horse.
No pun intended...   :) 

I've been drooling over the Freerunner for years now, specifically to have 
the capability to plug a REAL keyboard to it and SSH into my network. 

Now it seems that Openmoko.com folded (or is about)...:( 

My flow-gram of questions goes more or less as follows: 

If Freerunner dead then
do I have an alternative
else
if Freerunner usable then
case OS:
Openmoko: Good? ;;
Android: Good? ;;
default: What? ;;
esac
else
do I have an alternative
fi
fi 

I'm so bummed that Openmoko seems to be crumbling, or is it my doom's day 
wild imagination?
My Treo 650 died and I am ready for a Neo Freerunner, but is it really 
there? 

I can tinker freely and willingly with the phone, but I need to 
place/receive calls ans SSH into my network.
Thanks!
