I am using on dailylife a smartphone, but i got the same issu:

No camera; I don't take pics from my smartphone.

No music; Not enought choice of music in the format required and anyway the player leak too much battery and it is lagging.

No maps; 10 minutes to get a fix...

I’ve started calling people more; taking 10 minutes for a fix on the agps built-in is too long

I don’t care for my phone; it is so heavy that I got asked at airport

My concerns were mostly right, but I can live without these things; but someone told me QtMoko was usable, I will give it a try also.

Let me the time to compile this thing ( Not going back.. for now )

Message sent from my OpenMoko Freerunner GTA02



Not to be a detractor, but you really ought to try getting a smartphone that's halfway modern. The GTA02 is four and a half years old -- that's practically ancient history as far as smartphones are concerned -- and it doesn't help that it was always a pretty funky device.


I have a modern one, I was just making fun about my situation 3 years ago. Everyone with a neo had the same issues if they was using it as a dailyphone. I thought derision would not be same as detractor, sorry if you or others fell it like this.
