modulo the buzzing, which i never had and cannot therefore say how to get
rid of, my OM running 2008.09 does all that. it's my day-to-day business
and personal phone.
full instructions, including the version of images i'm booting from and
what i've done to fix each of the problems, are at

yes, i've done so twice, that's what the instructions are for. but
hopefully they'll be of some use to you, too!
