Status report. I am still playing with Qtopia image. I can place and receive calls. The phone vibrates once then rings on incoming calls with default settings. I edited the General profile to turn off the vibrator.
I have not figured out how to change the ring tone (which is quite nice). Signal strength indicator works, network is identified as T-Mobile. I was able to use power management to cycle the display through dim to off after adjustable time periods. This means the idle phone now does not waste power on back-lighting while charging (as my Samsung does). I understand power consumption is still an issue. I have a lot to learn. If I use this image, I need to find/develop a way to backup data on the phone (if that does not already exist). The little note taking application needs a better on screen keyboard. I could find no Norwegian keyboard - another project. I need a simple database. And, I have not even looked at the OpenMoko image yet. This should be a fun winter. George
