I'm assuming you are referring to Qtopia 4.3 right? It was close but not quite there.

It's somewhat bloated, but works nicely for me. Suspend with Power key worked every time (with sound being correctly brought back after wakeup), it even got calls and SMS messages while in suspend and woke up. As for an entry PIN - I turned off mine (or actually didn't set one to begin with), I don't think I need one every time I startup my phone. Call quality in FDOM is quite nice, there are some small echoes, but no complaints so far. YMMV, I guess. You have agpsui, Navit and TangoGPS available, and I think it should work, but haven't tested it yet. WiFi works (with Mofi) out of the box. In the recent version USB network is not setup properly because the functionality was moved from the main kernel to a module. To fix it, simply do "echo 'g_ether' >> /etc/modules" before you restart the phone, after installation. Works like a charm. In overall, I'm amazed with the FDOM, and despite bloat (needs a lot of space), I think it's the best distro so far, even surpassing Qtopia (GPS). Now, I wish that someone could port all those cool things to Debian. That would be awesome! Keep up the good work.

Also try the trick with 2008 again, sometimes if you slide the pen up on the keyboard it doesn't register, took me a few tries to get it two switch keyboards. Also give FDOM a shot, it's like 2008 but has extra programs by default and the keyboard has an easier selection method. -Shawn ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Stable OM distro
What's currently the most stable?
