Re: Broken FR for sale

2009-09-05 Thread The Digital Pioneer
Well, IDK how it's useful for home automation, if it doesn't have a
screen... Perhaps you mean as a server, not a client, but even so, that
requires a lot of hardware and skill I don't have. :P Also, seeing as I
don't have a car, only a bike, it wouldn't be particularly useful for
tracking a stolen vehicle, even if the GPS was working.

About the only thing I can think of that it would be useful to me for is to
trade it in for an A7 (or at least something with a buzzfix) with a working
screen, and get a huge discount for it. I have no idea if that's feasible,
but my gut says no.

Now, if anyone wants to sell me a screen, I'm very interested. It would be
fun to try to repair it, although probabilistically speaking I would be more
likely to break every component in the phone that does work, including the
new screen, when I tried to replace it... Nevertheless, it's worth a shot.
But for now, that's a dead end unless I can find a touchscreen that fits in
it.

Just the top of my head. Recently you made some useful
remarks regarding to bluetooth headset usage. I think you was the first who
used bluetooth headset seriously...

If you have enough the freerunner. Just buy the cheapest phone for 10$.
I expect you to return in a month or so. Seriously this highly costumizable
phone is addictive!

I think in a month freerunner will be in a very good shape.
I expect KMS (for video), improved wifi, improved gprs, improved everything.
I even want to have paroli a bit better shape running on shr.

Regarding to what for is usable the freerunner:
If you have an arduino, the possibility is endless.
The most useful would be steal preventing in your car,
ie you could track your card when stolen via sms.

The second useful thing would be home automation.

  Can it slow down code as the FR can ? ;-) It'll still be pretty Ok for
building stuff for the embedded/phone world.
  And it's a matter of time before someone blows his FR up and tries to sell
the screen. ;-p

Well, the irritating thing is, There is NOTHING a screenless FR can do that
my laptop can't, and if I need a computer to make it do anything
interesting, then what's the point in having a 400MHz processor do it
instead of my 2.0GHz dual-core? :P

The stupid GPS doesn't even work anymore, apparently a software issue, but
one I cannot fix anyways. Dos1 had the same problem, and his magically
started working again. Mine committed suicide first. :(

don't you have ssh access? you can still do fun stuff with the FR even if
you don't have a screen, and with time maybe you'll find a screen that fits
for a nice price. In the mean time you use the Nokia 1208 to send sms and
call friends and family :)

I really suggest you to keep it. On my freerunner the power button are
already began
to wear seriously. I need to push it with my nails. Dunno any alternative method
to wake up the device from suspend.
I highly bet this is a custom part.


Really 70$ is not much, for me, the shipping cost would be about the same.
So really, keep it (if you are planning to buy a new freerunner).

As to price, think of it as an eBay auction. Current bid is €50, which is
about $74.50. Buy it now is $100 and free shipping. :)

Payment is via PayPal only, please.

Broken FR for sale

2009-08-30 Thread The Digital Pioneer
If anyone wants it, I have one broken FR and I've gotta get rid of it. The
computational aspect is fine, the only part of it that doesn't work is the
screen, which is cracked. The screen DOES NOT WORK!! It's cracked and you
can't see anything useful. Just colors and lines. The phone itself works
fine, including the touchscreen (if you know where to touch without seeing
anything). You can SSH in and play music. It still works, it just has no
meaningful display.

It is A5 with no buzzfix.

Comes with 3 batteries, wall charger, stylus pen, USB cable, OM branded
neoprene pouch, and wired headset. If you're interested, make me an offer.
