Re: Freerunner in real world
[image: kg71ljl6.jpg] cheep water protecter 2009/9/14 Michael Pilgermann kichka...@gmx.de Dear all, last weekend I went for a small cycling tour and I thought, with gps in my Freerunner and track load capabilities of tangogps there is no need anymore for physical maps - I took the Freerunner with me. I was really impressed, how smoothly the whole thing was working. No problems with the GPS; no problems with tangogps either. However, two small problems: - I could not attach the phone properly to my bike; had to put it in a front bag and this was somehow a pain; also with some troubles with the sun making the reading from the display rather hard - The power capacity was just enough to bring me from A to B; another (longer) trip might result in troubles / me getting lost :( So my question: has anybody got any experiences with - attaching a Freerunner to a bike (maybe even incl. sun protection) - using some additional batteries?

Re: Nokia N900
I agree, I think Nokia don't care the driver code is open or close, because it's not the value of nokia, Maybe it's chipset productor's value. Maybe the operator required. Anyway, if you don't plan update update the drvier, you need not care it. 2009/9/1 DJDAS dj...@djdas.net Rui Miguel Silva Seabra ha scritto: I don't care if that code breaks the GPL or not, what I care is that is 2% too much proprietary software because it's 2% VERY IMPORTANT software. Even 2% of Freerunner code is proprietary (Calypso and Wifi and it's VERY IMPORTANT too) why do we have to care if Nokia uses proprietary drivers on the N900? ;) Bye! ___ 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
Re: Nokia N900
As I known about N810, 98% code is open. some driver (such as wifi driver), some core component (such as connectivityManager) are private code. It's a really difficault work to write private code without break GPL. 2009/9/1 Rui Miguel Silva Seabra r...@1407.org On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 07:00:32PM +0200, Nicola Mfb wrote: Just found the older n800 is supported by OE and mamona runs on it, but I did never care about that and google does not help very much in understanding how much the device is open.

Re: Purchasing Neo Freerunner in the UK
I want to buy a openmoko. how to connect you ? and price? I'm living Cambridge for a business travel, and I will go back China at Sep 5th. How can I pay ? cash or credit card of Bank Of China. Waiting your response. Thanks. Yang Ming. 2008/7/25 Joseph Reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Ross, I work for Oxford Archaeology, we're startign to distribute FreeRunners to various people for the purposes of encouraging development and general community good will. I've recently been told that our prices are less than other resellers too! Drop me an email if you'd like a FreeRunner from us. Best regards, Joseph http://blogs.thehumanjourney.net/finds/ 2008/7/24 Ross Woodruff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hope this is the right mailing list to ask this but I am just wondering where people in the UK purchased their FreeRunners from. I'm thinking of getting one in the near future and just wondering if anybody has used the TrueBox distributor or if you bought yours elsewhere, perhaps somewhere else in Europe... I'd just like to see which would be the best place for me to purchase a FreeRunner if there is anywhere else that ships to the UK and will work on a UK phone network (I'm on O2). ___ 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 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: trying to buy a freerunner in taipei?
Setup a branch in Hongkong is a best solution for China mainland. 2008/7/31 carmen r [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu Jul 31, 2008 at 10:31:29AM +0800, MKL23 wrote: What is the requirements to become a distributor?

Re: trying to buy a freerunner in taipei?
If they can setup sales center or reseller in Hongkong, the people china-mainland will easyer to buy it, To setup sales center in Hongkong could void the severe management of official of china mainland. 2008/7/27 Joerg Reisenweber [EMAIL PROTECTED] I seem to remember a note from Sean about us trying to find a way to make this possible. Thanks for the note on our phonesystem! Right now I would guess we don't have the infrastructure to sell devices to our customers directly, off the office. But let's see... cheers jOERG Am So 27.

Perhaps you could also open a bugzilla ticket. :) Robert, thanks for the encouraging insights. I'm guessing that the OpenMoko management staff have their hands full with logistical issues what with the new release of the FreeRunner. Direct email might be a bit invasive. I've actaully tried calling them, but their phone system is broken or something. It says I should dial 9 for operator, but then it just hangs up. :( I figured when they have time they will read this mailing list and hopefully, if possible, act upon our comments.
