Cincinnati Bell Wireless

2008-08-21 Thread Nick Matteo 
Hello,
I intend to buy a FreeRunner.  This will be my first time owning a
cell phone, though.
My service plan is offered through my university by Cincinnati Bell
Wireless, and includes a free phone.  Can I expect that removing the
SIM card from the free phone and placing it in the FreeRunner will
work?  (IE, allow calls and SMS.  I'd do any data over wifi.)

Thanks,
Nick

I'd be interested.  Alarm during suspend has been an issue for me.
I've been meaning to investigate it, but I suppose I was hoping
someone else would do it first.  So I'm very grateful to Mr Howlett
;-)

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for this helpfully complete characterization.
Do you happen to know if a Nokia battery (such as the BL-5c) will
charge in the FreeRunner?

Thanks,
