OpenMoko GTAv02 FreeRunner, first impressions

Submitted by simon on May 21, 2008 - 3:58pm.

I've not read much of the openmoko wiki yet, other than how to flash the device. The hardware sounds nice, but so far I can't access much of it due to poor state of the software.

I've flashed it with both QTopia and OpenMoko for the GTAv02, but those images don't seem to be ready for placing calls or connecting to wifi networks.

My open issues:

  • QTopia powers off when idle and won't resume, have to pop out battery
  • What do I need to do to bring it to a functional state? Where functional is GSM and WiFi usable.
