of course we can :)

I'll structure the code to make each carrier a different subclass.
Don't know how much code we'll be able to re-use but if someone wants
to add support for another carrier it won't be to much different and
will have lot of examples to look at.

I'll give a look to them

of course we can :)

I can do the Qt UI and you the GTK/Hildon one if you want.

p.s: at the moment we'll have a big problem: python2.5 included in
Fremantle is compiled without SSL support, so we cannot login to https
websites (almost all) :(

We can workaround for the moment, doing the development on our Linux
distributions and then, when PyMaemo team will fix this (I already
have submitted a bug entry) we'll be able to test this on Fremantle
too or directly (let's hope) into the final device.

Regards,
