It's in great condition, North American 850Hz version. Willing to

There's more details here.

Re: Sold out ahh

I thought this might be useful.

I created a page on the wiki, so no device will go unused.  That would
be a shame.

  Don't tell me we forgot to ship you the lanyard hole! That would be a

 well, that would be comparably easy to fix, wouldn't it?

  Forgot to add that if we did, let me know - I think I have a spare one

 you got a lanyard hole in your pocket? who's your tailor?

I'm in Western Canada (Vancouver) and have a brand new 850 model. I
only flashed a couple of distributions onto it.

Preferably, I'd sell it to someone in Western Canada/United States and
someone who can contribute to the project.

Cheers!

 Send me an email if you want to purchase a brand new Freerunner off me.

 Probably a good idea to give a description of what kind of condition
 it's in, plus specify its location (for working out likely postage) and
 whether it's an 850 or 900 model.

Freerunner available in Vancouver

2008-08-11 Thread Justin Wong
Hi,

I'm willing to sell my Freerunner. While it's a great piece of
hardware and the software is catching up, it looks like I don't have
as much time as I originally thought. Someone else could probably
contribute more than I can.

The condition is like new. I only opened it for like two days and
flashed different distributions to try out.

I live in Vancouver, so preferably a transaction locally is better.

Send me a private email if interested and we'll talk price.

Cheers!
Justin

I think Qtopia.

It's nice to open the box and get to play around with some features.
Afterwards, people can make informed choices to go with another
distribution.

Re: Main page change notification

2008-08-01 Thread Justin Wong
I dont mind the language on top for this page, but if we can get rid
of Main Page at the top, that'd be GREAT.  Right now, it's taking up
a lot of real estate and I don't think we really need the page name
for this page.

The changes look good. I like how the intro is split up, so for
people who care most about the license stuff, like developers, when
they scroll down a bit, they can see it.

Cheers!
Justin

 Er... I just moved it back to the bottom before reading this email... sorry!

 I think changing from one language to another inside the page is
 actually a rare task, as bookmarks can be set directly to the language
 of choice. It also makes the page look less cluttered :)


 Right but this is the main page which new users see first.  They need
 to be able to select their language easily.  I can see having all
 other pages have it on the bottom or not at all.  The main page should
 have it on the top.  Many people don't speak english.

 Ok. For the benefit of those non-english speakers who find it too
 difficult to scroll to the bottom of the page once to change languages
 before bookmarking it, I shall leave it as is. :)

 A summary of everything related to the GPS problem.

 Does the people of Openmoko know the problem?
  - Yes.

 Do they work on the problem?
  - Yes, they are actively searching for a solution.

 What is the problem?
  - The Openmoko Freerunner have a long TTFF with the SD card in the phone.
 So it takes a long time (10min+) before you get your first GPS data.

 Wat is TTFF?
  - This is the time to first fix of the GPS. This is the time the GPS has
 needed to get the first clue on where you are on planet earth. So you have
 to do this only once. After you have a FF (first fix), you can get more
 fixes without any problems with the SD card in the phone.

 So if we have a first fix, the SD card isn't blocking the GPS anymore?
  - yes, the SD card isn't blocking the GPS if we have a first fix. (Some
 people even claim it's more stable)

 Does they have a solution?
  - yes. Their is already a highly alpha software workaround. The software
 just disables the SD card when the GPS tries to get it's first fix They are
 also examine a hardware solution.

 Do we have to return our Freerunners to Openmoko?
  - Probably not, because the software workaround should work too.

 But we can't read of the SD card when the GPS is on?
  - Wrong, you will be able to read the SD card when the GPS is on. You will
 probably not be able to read the SD card when you're starting the GPS (appr.
 30 sec), because the GPS will only block the SD card when it's searching
 it's first fix. After that you will be able to read the SD card again.

 Is their a better software solution?
  - Maybe. From reading the mailing list, I have understood that half the
 Openmoko team is looking into this bug. All this information is only 1 à 2
 days old and the bug is also young, so I suspect they can finetune the
 software workaround and make it only slowdown the SD card or even better.

 Did Openmoko test the GPS with a SD card in it?
  - yes

 Whey didn't they find it while testing the Freerunner?
  - Because they have to do the tests with a fake GPS signal and with that
 signal it worked. (In a fab you haven't a decent GPS signal) They already
 have modified the test, so it correspond the GPS signal better.

 Summary of the summary:
 You will be able to use the SD card in the same time of the GPS except for
 the first appr 30 seconds. (And that's the worst case, because maybe
 Openmoko can find better hacks/fixes)

 ps: I have read all the mails about the GPS problem, but I'm still human. If
 there is a fault or wrong conclusion in this summary, please let the
 community know.

  I've just arrived in Taiwan and have figured out the quad band

  The chipset is capable of quad band but the board was laid out to

  support 3 bands. So, 850Mhz is not supported on the GTA01 board.
  Instead
  we support 900/1800/1900MHz.
