I'm afraid my experience with TR4 wasn't that great. I installed it Friday night, and played with it enough to make sure that I could make and receive calls. I must admit that after using QtE it was nice to be able to install software like a pdf reader and mokomaze.
However, The first real call I got was from my wife heading over to the park with our daughter. I heard the ringing, and the phone seemed to wake up from suspend quickly (which puts it ahead of my experience from OM2008), but when I pressed the answer button nothing happened. I had been running omrotatenew, and I've noticed that it sometimes screws up the touch screen calibration, so I don't know if this is actually a TR4 problem, or an issue with the rotation. However, once I missed the call, I figured I'd use the call log to call her back, so I went to the call log and clicked on the entry. It took me to an empty dialer window - without a number entered. Since I know her number I just typed it in, and clicked on the 'call' button. Nothing happened. I clicked on the 'back button' - also nothing. I used the illume menu to take me to the main paroli windows, but couldn't make anything work there either. I ended up rebooting. After the reboot, I still couldn't get dialing to work, so I rebooted again, and then was able to call my wife --- total time elapsed to make the call was probably 20 minutes. When I did get ahold of her, she said that she could barely understand me, since the audio was quite distorted - she sounded fine to me, and probably a bit louder than I get with QtE. I might give TR4 another try without omreotatenew running and see if it's any more reliable that way...
