I have been very happy with the results so far, but the problems I have found, confirming yours are: 1. Default volume too low: had to hand-edit gsmhandset.state, the volume control in settings > call settings did not do the trick 2. Using the headset during a call requires you to select speakerphone from the menu - audio is routed usually through one earphone, but for the mic, you have to use the FR's speaker-mic. Selecting headset does not work - Could this mean the settings in gsmheadset.state and gsmspeakerout.state have been interchanged? 3. Strong echo heard by most of the callers 4. Phone needs to be reminded of power management functions when plugged in - I have already saved the settings in (added to) my profile 5. Whenever a new SMS is received, the phone reports earlier messages as unread in the popup notification 6. Some messages are received twice 7. Somehow, the phone seems to create copies of messages in the inbox - I now have 159 messages in one day, when the total received was perhaps 16. Sent items shows the correct number 8. In GPRS settings, I can't modify the APN setting, so there is no way to figure out if it works. The wiki says here [1] that it should be specified in the chat file. However, I don't know if Qtextended uses the same functionality to connect to GPRS. There are no such files in /etc/ppp 9. I don't think networking through usb0 works correctly. I have specified my proxy in settings > internet > new > ethernet, also exported it as an environment variable under SSH, but no cigar. Ping to www.google.com or 208.67.222.222 doesn't seem to work. I am using Freeproxy as a bridge between my corporate lan on my laptop, and the FR 10. Due to 9 above, settings > software packages does not work. Neither does opkg, for much the same reason, although I believe nothing should be installed from the OM repositories 11. What about GPS? Both 8 and 9 mean there is no way to test how it works. Plus there are hardly any tried and tested routing / navigation applications available (roadmaps seems to be experimental, haven't tried it). We need something like TangoGPS or Navit 12. The qwerty keyboard is too tiny and a bit messy. The predictive keyboard seems to have done away with the right-to-left flick for backspace So there are twelve problems I can enumerate quickly, but they are not showstoppers. I believe most of these issues will be cleared up quickly. Battery life is much better than under any of the OMs, applications start up much faster and I haven't even tried fastload yet, and respond much faster too! All in all, FR with Qtextended (4.4.1) is the closest I have gotten to a phone, much better than the 2007.2 factory image, which was quite buggy, and of course, everyone's favourite 2008.x.
