From a cold Beijing, that is amazingly cleaned up and metropolitan, merry xmas and happy holidays and happy new year!
Most importantly, happy 1 year anniversary to Lu for being married for one year (to me)! Its taken a massive amount of engineering to get here right now and to have some degrees of freedom for our lives, so pretty happy about that overall!
Now its time for me, my mom, dad, Lu and I to take 24 hour train to Guangzhou…geez, I miss my 14 hour battery now 
Time to get sentimental and see some amazing country-side while my real imagination comes true. Time to hack on OpenMoko and Open Clip Art Library while on the train
BTW, while waiting for my parents at the Beijing International Airport, I decided to break from that activity to find the atm. While walking towards it, out from the domestic terminal came the the worlds tallest man!!!
I stopped dead in my track and like the other Chinese folks around me, pulled out my phone and took a picture!
Hey man,
Searching for news about Openmoko I found out you gaot one already. Could you please answare me couple questions? If you have no time forget about it
Because looking all around I haven’t fond much written about it.
I just wanna know if it’s useable like a phone already and if I you can tell me some of your experiencies with this toy.
I’m looking forward to get this phone for a while but have no informations.
Thanks a lot and enjoy new year
2046
Hey Jon
Happy Holidays and a great New Year to you and your family!
2046, the phone is not usable yet because of a bug on the hardware which prevents realistic power management. There is a way to fix this by clipping a resister. This is to be fixed in the latest release of the hardware coming soon…the software is coming along quick.
I’m now using the motorola a1200 ming which runs linux, but isn’t really built by the community.
Russell…thanks man!!!
