 anyone have any experience with them? I also note they offer a 1024

 the option back in. Is there a logfile somewhere which I could 
 check, to see for sure if this is an issue for me?

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/1024 gives instructions on how to check if
you suffer from the #1024 bug.
If you put ti_calypso_sleep_mode = 'adaptive' in your frameworkd.conf
you should be able to find messages regarding recamping in its log file.

That being said I'm quite confident that any phone could suffer from
this bug under certain conditions (and phones showing symptoms now might
not show them at other times). For these reasons reliable detection that
this bug does(will) not affect you is next to impossible.

On the other hand all the devices that reliably showed signs of #1024
didn't show these signs after I performed the rework. So applying the
#1024 fix should be a safe bet.

 I can see events including the POWER button but I don't get anything

 into the nand menu.  Anything else I can try?  With only two buttons
 to work with I don't want to give it up.  I'm hoping its not a
 hardware problem.

there were some issues regarding event node name changes that resulted
in AUX not being picked up by framework.

Recent versions should have that fixed - if not please open a bug.

 While this may be true with your current carrier and phone usage,
 this is far from the case with my phone.  Part of the problem
 Openmoko as a community is facing is adequate testing.  With
 something as complex as worldwide telephony system, it's the biggest
 detriment to Openmoko's success.

I'm curious, what distro are you using? I would be pretty surprised if
carrier differences are having that effect.
If you don't mind please try kernel and rootfs in
http://totalueberwachung.de/~alphaone/openmoko/buzzfix/ and see if you
are still missing phone calls. If you are I would be very interested in
any logs you can produce. For that please make
sure /etc/frameworkd.conf reads

log_to = file
log_destination = /path/to/file
in section [frameworkd] and

log_level = DEBUG
in section [ogsmd]

Please file any bug reports at http://trac.freesmartphone.org/

 I don't think that waiting for the next release is a good idea. I was
 at Sean Moss-Pulz' talk in Bern on April 2. In the QA, somebody said
 that his Freerunner missed incoming calls. Sean M-P replied that this
 would be fixed really soon. I asked, When? and Sean said, June.


I have attended that talk as well and I also encountered (surprisingly)
many opinions at the Openmoko community stand saying the same. I can
only talk about my experience (I'm currently working on some dbus
testing infrastructure to say for sure), but telephony has been pretty
stable for me (using FSO and zhone) for about three months now. I'm
quite reluctant to say more about this until I have test results other
than none of my friends have asked me why I don't answer the phone any
more, but I had to clearify that if there still are problems with
incoming calls (which I honestly don't believe) then they are not
immediately noticable.

 I got my Freerunner a few days ago, and since then I've been trying
 to get GPS to work, but no matter what I do...nothing.   I'm using
 Om2008.12.

 From agpsui, I get a grand total of 0 sats after even an hour, yet
 strangely enough, I'm getting signals (from the SS screen) with
 around -130 to -140 dBm (I'm assuming that means I might be doing
 something wrong?)

You might want to try flashing an FSO build
(http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/).

I'm currently using
http://totalueberwachung.de/~alphaone/openembedded-build/glibc/images/om-gta02/uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin
and
http://totalueberwachung.de/~alphaone/openembedded-build/glibc/images/om-gta02/openmoko-fso-image-glibc-ipk--20090404-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2.nosummary

These images also have the GPS hotstart fixed so once you had a fix you
should get another one much faster.
On these images when zhone starts (the main application) press the
lower middle button in order to get detailed GPS information. The
middle tab will show you which SVs the GPS sees, if it has ephemeris
(the information needed for navigating) and if it is currently
downloading that data. One SV needs about 20-30 seconds of continuously
receiving data until it can be used for navigation. SVs used for
navigation will turn green.
