You're missing a few things, but not laziness or stupidity. My freerunner has had every hardware problem except the WSOD. It can used as a daily phone with a little work. 1) GPS Openmoko found 2 solutions to this one. One hardware and on software. Mine only has the software fix but works as well any any other unassisted GPS. 2) BUZZ Openmoko found a hardware solution. I really hope you attempt this one. 3) Suspend and resume. Openmoko has solved the kernel issues with this one. A few more userland fixes and it should be rock solid. 4) Echo Numerous community solutions. You probably won't find this one as it takes some research and a little tweaking depending one Freerunner model and cell provider. 5) bug 666 Openmoko fixed in GSM firmware 6) bug 1024 Openmoko is working on it. Community found a work around. Power consupmtion is slightly higher but perfectly workable. 7) WSOD Fixes in Andy's kernel 8) battery discharging even when plugged in Openmoko working on it ( maybe already fixed in new kernels ) 9) unable to boot with discharged battery Numerous work arounds If your complaint isn't on this list file a bug. If it is quit whinning do some research and possibly contribute to the community.
