You should not have to switch firmware for the different bands. That would be insanity. A quad band module should be able to use one image for everything. That apparently isn't the case at the moment, but it should be, and hopefully they are working towards that end. Not sure what the deal is with calypso but I have looked very closely at several other quad band modules and there is none of this problem. Check out for example the telit modules and the mult-tech modules. They are likely more expensive but they definitely do quad band and they don't need different firmware for different bands.

Dear FIC please work on quad band with single firmware. If calypso is problematic for this then please ditch it and get another module, there are many many to choose from and gsm serial code is standard so there should not be a huge number of changes required. I noticed that TI is very secretive and protective of their cell technology. I am starting to think that it's a bad choice. I have all the docs for the above two modules and everything is well documented and ready to go. They both have direct antenna connector, although the telit surface mount modules allow you to make part of the pcb board the antenna. -- Doug _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
