Dialing the alarm number even overrides keylock, try it on your current phone. ...which I've always thought was badly implemented. The emergency services get thousands of false alarms from phones ringing from people's pockets: the UK is particularly susceptible to this, with 999 as the emergency number. Perfectly sensible to have the emergency number override keylock, but why not do it on a timer? If someone presses 9, then nothing for 1 minute, then 9, etc, keylock is not overridden. If someone presses three 9s in quick succession, then override keylock. Don't know if this goes against the mandated operation - but if not, I can't think of any likely downsides.

RE: Regarding hardware specs...
I have to jump in to comment that I love the scroll wheel on my new Cingular 8525 (aka HTC Hermes aka HTC TyTyn). Having never owned a blackberry I never understood the attraction of a scroll wheel with push select capability. I do now. 2 thumbs up.

But still I'd like to add one wishlist item. I'm interested in using pda-like gadgets with only one hand, and without having to touch the screen. This is optimal e.g. when reading while in metro. Unfortunately this is going to be hard when there are only 2 buttons. At least 3 are needed (2 for scrolling up/down, and one for generic 'action'). Or a wheel + >=1 buttons. Any chance to have a scrool wheel and/or more buttons (e.g. a joystick-like control that actually is equal to 4 or 5 buttons)? ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Why isn't WiFi on rev. 1?
I'm just wondering why WiFi isn't on the first generation Neo1973. It seems that WiFi would be a perfect chip to dev. on especially with a Linux OS because then we could install and develop SIP application to use with VOIP services like Skype and Gizmo. If you guys haven't heard of Gizmo, check it out it only costs 1 cent per minute anywhere in the world. It's much cheaper than Skype. My buddy at work used his SIP phone and has it configured with Gizmo its pretty cool! -Chuck ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
