Re: Any progress on the Telit UC864 3.5G modem?

2008-12-09 Thread Will Siddall
Please, has anyone looked further into this?  I do a lot of travelling
into countries that use 3G only networks and being able to swap the
existing GSM module with this one would save me A LOT of hassle.

What's the concensus and for those who have tried: how hard is it to
swap and get it running?

 Hi,

 It's been quite a while since the MokoForesight page was updated, so I
 was wondering whether any more research went into the Telit UC864G
 modem (3.5G with integrated GPS).

 On the MokoForesight page it says:

 Detailed documentation on Web. Can get even more documentation from 
 reseller.
 First impression is good. UC864G includes all known bands and GPS
 receiver (saves more space  complications).

 Which all sounded quite promising. Did it turn out to be a dead end?

 Regards, Justyn.

Thanks for clarifying Justyn, it's still something that would be a
great feature to have.  I will buy a later version FR only if it
contained a 3G modem.

I guess I'm just over-anxious about getting 'everything' I've wanted
in a phone so quickly

 This is not at all possible.

 I am asking about the research into the Telit modem for a future
 Openmoko device.

Justyn,
lots of changes in our hardware team, we hired some great new  
engineers, Adam Wang (production engineer), Ivorin Chen (layout  
engineer), Tully Gehan (mechanical engineer), Eva Lin (project  
coordinator).
Working on more...
As for MokoForesight, Shawn Lin left a while ago, so the whole idea is  
'suspended' right now. WSOD is fixed so I'm sure it will resume  
properly at some point ;-)
Telit has some great modules, we are not pursuing this any further at  
this moment, but there is a good chance we will at some point.
Hope this helps, Best Regards,
Wolfgang

Good to hear!

Also good to hear that this research team might start up again.

 Telit has some great modules, we are not pursuing this any further at
 this moment, but there is a good chance we will at some point.

I hope so. The sooner the cellular connectivity of the OM devices can
be brought up-to-date, the better.

 Hope this helps, Best Regards,
 Wolfgang

Thank you for this update.
