Sounds messy, what's wrong with using a drill (after separating case
and circuit board of course)?

A soldering iron makes a nice neat hole and a little nasty toxic smoke.
A drill sheds little bits of plastic that are static charged so they
are sticky and migrate to inconvenient places.
Maybe you are not happy because you think it's just a phone. To me
it's a complete programmable handheld computer which happens to have a
GSM phone feature. The phone is a fairly insignificant feature for
some of us. If all you want is a phone, go to the supermarket, they
have really nice ones
Okay -- I see your perspective and I agree but I think people are
calling it a phone because that's a convenient handle. For my 10
minute test yesterday it worked just like a phone. I dialed, it
connected. It rang, I answered. Another 10 minutes and I'd probably
know how to answer on the first

When you are collecting data you might also keep in mind conditions
vary a lot according to the current satellite constellation. You
should include the count of satellites in view and the pdop number
with your results data.
You can do some planning to make sure you don't run one test when
Yesterday when I was running ASU and had had the FR plugged in
overnight to its charger I looked at its screen and there was a popup

reflash it with FSO I checked the
Is there an easy way to suspend for a time period (say 8 hours) or set
a realtime clock to it wake up? I set BIOS this way on my desktop -
cron shuts it down at midnight and BIOS wakes up every morning at 7.
Works quite well to save power.

smart arse answer. There is no BIOS. ;)
Not intentionally -- just drawing an analogy as a means of exposition
Some time ago in any of the openmoko lists someone proposed a solution for
RTC wakeup.
I will try searching for it later. A block diagram of what's in the
phone would be nice for
to collect GPS data for scientific field work (forestry,
biology, etc)
The page was started on 17 August 2008 mostly as a thought exercise.
Please jump in and add to it.

I have already implemented a binary decoder for the Ublox binary format

Personally, I don't want to spend $50 when all I really want is one spare

I am using the pouch that came with my FR for the spare inner tube on

don't want more of them.
Batteries should be available

They are targeted at hospitality and healthcare industry. They are

Excuse me, Michael did you say VAX server? :-) Once you replace it
what will you do with the extra floor space? The savings on your
electric bill would pay for a virtual server in the Cloud.
