Hi Timo, Xavier I think I proved that the 4GB SanDisk will not work ^_^; I tried putting rootwait glamo_mci.sd_max_clk=500 glamo_mci.sd_drive=3 in /boot/append-GTA02, but I get a kernel panic, can't find root fs. It is interesting though, I think before it just booted from NAND instead of

Hi Robin I think I agree with you 100% on everything you say. Improved keyboards on qtmoko would be just what was needed - not just for sm message, we need a good virtual PC keyboard as well. Apart from keyboards, with a few tweaks, Qtmoko 35, running from sd card is actually pretty good.

Hi Matthias Like a few others I'd recommend giving QtMoko a try. I've been pretty happy with it myself and it works fairly well when using the FR primarily as a phone. I've been using v31 on NAND and playing with v36 on an SD card. I find it the easiest distro to live with. +1 I've just
