Don't you find it a little too slow to really work with? Or is it only me? It
almost tests my patience. qtextended is rather fast.
Since, i use this now as my primary phone i thought id try the available
distributions to see what i can use on a daily basis. I tried ASU which was
rather bare as is meant to be and still slower than my patience. Then i tried
the older FDOM which atleast demos the capability of the device but suffers the
same slowness as the ASU. I am now about to try the latest ASU which my work
well but i do not expect much in terms of speed.
Next, ill try the qtopia 4.3 since i have heard it is more stable. Does the
ASU ship with same qtopia applications? If it does than qtextended defenitely
has better usability.
Actually, i find qtextended to be quit stable except that it suffers bugs that
make it annoying to use.
Is qtextended (x11) available on debian? I found debian to be fast! My dream
setup would be qtextended on x11 running on debian. I am generally fond of
debian and Qt too. I use the KDE desktop and do software development with Qt
and my daytime job is in the low level embedded (bare metal) space.
Ps. Is there developer documentation that explains details? I see files like
the gsmhandset.state and im not sure how all this works? clearly all the
distributions for the FR seem to use the same file concept but im not sure this
is a freedesktop.org standard either.
