Re: t-mobile bans user's own apps
fta: but their hypocrisy is painfully clear when you remember that these apps work fine on T-Mobile's network, using T-Mobile SIM cards, if you buy your phone directly from a manufacturer like NokiaUSA.com [or fic ;)]. caveat emptor -- don't buy your phone from t-mobile hurray for openmoko! cheers daly On 2/27/07, Wolfgang S.

Before this they seemed to have the best GSM deal in this part of the world (San Francisco Bay Area, USA). http://www.gearlog.com/2007/01/tmobile_disses_opera_says_get.php This means T-Mobile feature phone users are prohibited from surfing the Web with Opera Mini, checking maps on Google Local for Mobile, listening to podcasts with Mobilcast, and using any other form of software not pre-approved by T-Mobile. I wonder how they'll react to an open phone where code like this comes as a factory option. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

realtime call switching
http://www.grandcentral.com/ grand central claims to be able to do this, switch calls from mobile to home or office, mid-call tho' it's only available in the us cheers daly -- Forwarded message -- From: Attila Csipa [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andreas Kostyrka [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 21:08:06 +0100 Subject: Re: Neither iPhone or OpenMoko are revolutionary On Thursday 18 January 2007 16:59, Andreas Kostyrka wrote: It's basically trivial.

No, that's more challenging. The BTFusion stuff mentioned earlier is an effort in that direction. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
idea: security badge consolidation?
i work with multiple clients and vendors, and have amassed a good number of security badges. i was curious about the feasibility of being able to program the transmitter to send out the appropriate badge id based on location? even if it's not possible, i want to congratulate the openmoko team on bringing back the excitement that i had when i first began working with computers. i'm definitely going to purchase the first generation phone, and more, and i'm looking forward to the ensuing innovation... thanks! justin ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
