Yes. They eventually started *intercepting my calls* and redirecting
them to a call-centre where someone would insist that they had to
give me a new phone. This happened several times (and they sent me
several phones--insistent that it had to be so. But this turned out
not to be a good thing...)). A long and convoluted story later,
I decided that it was worthwhile to flee AT&T and go to T-Mobile.
AT&T made a last-ditch attempt to keep me by holding a cheap phone
that I'd had on my plan hostage.

Of course, shortly thereafter, AT&T announced that they would be
buying T-Mobile.

For the time being, T-Mobile has in fact provided a superior experience--
in every way except that SHR, for some reason, just doesn't work right
with my T-Mobile SIM. QtMoko works fine, tho'.

We actually have some major performance-related stuff in the works--
mainly replacing all of the core map-management with John Stowers'
osm-gps-map library (which also, coincidentally, spun off from tangoGPS).
It's slow going, though: most of the work is basically done, but
the patch-series that we got was difficult to integrate. I do want
to give the author credit for his work, however, so I've (slowly) been
picking his changes apart (with a notebook), splitting them into
more easily-understood & -integrated bite-sized chunks with more
understandable ordering, and committing them into a preliminary
branch.

I guess I should open a bug in the bug-tracker for this,
to increase the visibility

Drop by #foxtrotgps on Freenode, some time.

I'm in the US Eastern timezone, available during my evenings
on most weekdays; I'm `on vacation' from today through the
coming weekend, though--which means that I have more time
to do FoxtrotGPS work and chat on IRC during the day; and
lindi (Timo) and the others have other timezones covered :)

Which toolchain, specifically, are you using?

Tks. I am thinking to try my hand at souping up the performance a bit on 
my OM. If I have any success I will advise. Some aspects of the program 
design made tangogps a little inconvenient for me.


Getting the libraries set up is my current activity so that I can get a 
build environment going.

You might want to switch to foxtrotgps, which is fork of tangogps. It
has a bug tracker, public Vcs, IRC channel and is also in debian and
ubuntu.

The app currently does not compile because of changes in GPSD apis. I tried to 
fix it, but i was not trivial.

Yes, it worked :)
My suggestion is to indicate that the libraries are dependancies regardless of 
the platorm - put them at the begginning with the qt build dependancies ?

I did it on a 32 bit system and the libraries are needed.

PS - anyone know what was happening to the lists.openmoko.org domain ?  It was 
down for a while last week.
