Unfortunately, I've decided to sell my Freerunner on ebay. I love the phone, but the firmware just isn't ready for general use, and I lack the expertise to contribute toward the project. Thanks to everyone who's helped me over these last few weeks. Cheers. Dimitri -- View this message

It's hard to argue with your points, since the phone STILL can't connect to the internet *out-of-the-box*. (Who wants to manually hack a dozen files, or install some guy's half-working gui posted on some blog that requires google-translate to read?) Why the developers are spending time breaking

wouldn't mind learning to program for it, but even that's hard to do, since there are a handful of competing openmoko software architectures that aren't really interoperable. Anyway, I guess I'll wait for the software to catch up to the hardware. Meanwhile, I'll keep it tucked away in the closet. Dimitri

Are you able to make and receive calls? If not, perhaps the sim isn't touching all the phone's connections. At least, that's the problem I had when I tried to connect to ATT. It would show that I had 5 bars, but it would always say Registering I was able to wiggle the sim a little, reboot
