Maybe losing your other phone will result in a better running FreeRunner. I've missed a bunch of phone calls in 2008.8. Hitting the answer button actually dumps the call 2 out of 3 times. Qtopia had a better record except the in-call keypad wouldn't work.
Finger friendly keyboard?! Wifi & GPS? Works. Mostly. Wpa_supplicant is tricky. Let Settings' Wifi fill in the blanks. Battery woes.- all night is ok if you need some charging otherwise I'm pulling out the battery just to get a boot. So, I'm pretty much ignoring the phone right now except for basic usage. Switched to BSD on my lappy... OEM it works better than my phone. I'll ready for a putsch on my FR soon. :) Best of luck...
