I want to order a GTA-01, but some questions still remain.<br><br>1: What is the status of various developments in the applications. The wiki<br>lacks enough informaiton. Is something like this list possible?</blockquote>
<div><br>GTA01 is an early stage devs version and the first phones only started arriving yesterday.<br>The phone can make and receive phone calls and has some really basic apps like calendar, calculator, etc. UI still desperately needs attention.

basic apps good enough?</blockquote><div><br>Depends on what you can do without (temporarily of course). You can check it out under qemu - <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMoko_under_QEMU">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMoko_under_QEMU

Battery is 1200mAh for GTA01. Going by my phone with a dinky 850mAh and a few more features which lasts about
3.5 hrs with everything cranked, I'd say the neo will last about 5 hrs with everything cranked. Though power management was still a bit flaky last I checked (may have been fixed by now).<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
4: is the uboot bootloader stable enough to make a basic model sufficient?<br></blockquote></div><br>It seems stable, but I don't know that it's enough for daily use.<br>
