Joerg (or anyone else that might know): Would just desoldering the mic part of the jack also fix the problem? Assuming I can eventually get a bluetooth headset working, I don't anticipate ever using the headset jack for anything other than listening to audio; so, I don't need the mic part.

Before any of you start doing this be aware: * My understanding is that the jack as the cause of the GSM buzz has NOT been confirmed to everyones satisfaction. * If you apply a soldering iron to your Freerunner and damage the Freerunner, I'm pretty sure we won't replace it for free.

Again, is their safe a way we can turn off the headset microphone power and test this ? Nicolas p.s. I'm in Montreal with Rogers. The buzz is always present and worst when fingers are on top of the headphone jack. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Sales?
I've been using mine with Qtopia for weeks. As a cellphone it works really well and I get at least 36 hours of standby. If it had a browser I'd be in hog heaven since I have wifi that works oem. There is a demand for 'open-source hardware' so building more or better is a no brainer...

Buzz? The only time I had that issue was with a poor connection on the headset. I've used it daily for weeks now and no one has mentioned anything.

No idea. How do I tell? The unit has date code 20080620 and was shipped as part of a 10-pack on 7/7 from the OpenMoko store. charles On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 9:02 AM, Yorick Moko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I (and others on IRC) do have this problem (with every distribution) do you have a v5 or a v6?

Hi all, Maybe the headset microphone power source is responsible for that noise.

I have heard from two sources now[1][2] that the demand for Freerunner's has been above and beyond everyone's expectations. Does anyone have any data they can release as to roughly how many are thought to have been sold so far? Keep up the good stuff everyone!
