Hi Al, Unfortunately, this entry wasn't in the wiki at the time I flashed 2008.8. But thanks for the tip. I will try that. Helmut The VCF import method mentioned in the wiki works fine for me with the addressbook exported by my old k700i. You can run from the terminal which you can install

True, but 'send / receive phone calls' is on everybody's list. Not that I disagree with your arguments, I'd just like to point out that for me for example, this is not the case. I think of the Freerunner more as a small mobile Linux computer. I want it for GPS, media, web browsing, cool stuff

I don't get it. First of all the phone should be able to do at least things that a 50$ phone can do. Forget $50, there are probably millions of phones that can handle those things sitting in landfills. ___ Openmoko community mailing list

I think this is related to the bug where sound is lost when you suspend/resume. As Om2008.8 likes to suspend a LOT, chances are it suspended before your alarm could go off. At least, I think that's what happened on my attempts. I don't know if the alarm wakes the phone up or not. Didn't really

I can't speak for the Openmoko developers, but it is fairly well known that the openmoko software is a work in progress with things breaking and being fixed very often. I believe most people who have the Neo phones have them to be part of something new that hasn't been done before on a phone,

i think basic stuff is subjective. for example, i just need : 1. send / receive phone calls 2. send / receive text messaging 3. battery life but obviously this wont be the same for everyone. 1. i think almost everyone can agree on. so the sim card debacle was an interesting hurdle early. 2.
