So, as long as I plug it in to the USB whilst working, and then my meetings and travelling last no more than 5 hours, all is well!!!

Re: I'm new in this list
Not quite true that you can't make calls! Many have been making calls and messaging. Just not all that easy (e.g., using ssh/command line interfaces). However, I have been using the Neo as my main phone for making and receiving phone calls and messaging for a couple of weeks now using the Qtopia image (http://www.qtopia.net/modules/devices/openmoko.php). It is quite reliable and it does demonstrate that the hardware (at least this part of it) does work! But the future is OpenMoko and it is slowly getting there.

Ouch - I had been wondering why my order had not been processed, and yet many numbers after my order number (orders >2010) were being processed. I responded to the YES_I_DO immediately I received the email. But apparently, after I finally got a response from the obviously very busy OpenMoko crew, they did not receive my YES_I_DO!!! Looks like I'm in for a lng wait for the next batch. Regards, Graham ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
