Branding wise, most will be even less picky than I, right? I personally think the distinction between openmoko and the neo 1973 is complicated...probably best to use similar branding across the board and or have study conducted to find out what ppl think, although I already have a grasp on that if someone wants to pay me to say ;) Cheers!

Constructions like "to get my Moko working" just sound a little odd in this light. Also, Angstrom is the part of the distribution that is *not* specific to OpenMoko but that's just being nitty gritty now, I know. ;) Have a great day!

I"m just using my tmobile sim from my normal phone...

The OpenMoko distro was only broken for a day or so. Turns out the problem was in the muxing of GSM and console on one serial port, as the Harald link above pointed out. Simple changes in /etc/init.d/gsm circumvent it. The new gsm script is checked in, and "ipkg update && ipkg upgrade" will pull it in. To get the "ipkg upgrade" to not hang the system as it tries to shut down the old gsm daemon before upgrading, you may want to manually edit /etc/init.d/gsm by adding: stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 -crtscts [ -n "$GSM_POW" ] && echo "0" >$GSM_POW before the echo gsm in the "stop" section. Then upgrade. Then your openmoko will be fine (mine is). The software isn't finished -- but the team DOES understand software engineering. Come on guys; the sky is not falling.

The software isn’t finished — but the team DOES understand software engineering.

I just don't want to be negative because I want mine to really really work :) Yeah, I’m hopeful that they will adopt open company policies to help build the community up…I fear that there is too much noise right now, and there really needs to be some clarity gained to fix up things…simple things like how to make a phone call and just not committing borked code is a start, albeit a small one…

Lots of promise there- shame they seem to be missing out on some of the basics of good engineering practice and good community-building practice.
