I thought I remembered someone said t-mobile sim cards weren't
connecting correctly to the network, but at&t cards were working
fine. GPS is working fine although there was talk about changing the
chip & drivers in the next release - although I'm not sure about
the state of that or the reasons behind it.<br>

If your usage is for North America, be aware that the Neo as it is
offered now does not include support for the 850MHz band, so you will
only be able to use the 1900MHz in these parts. <br>
<br>
The battery life is 3-4 hours, and the phone is best charged turned on
and plugged into a Linux computer's USB port. My particular device
only recognizes the sim card every other boot and often forgets to tell
me if somebody is calling (they drop straight to voicemail). Some of
this may be improved with the latest modem flash.

The basic hardware platform seems solid enough (other than power
management issues). The problems I am seeing seem to be software
related, so if the openmoko software is not required in your
application, you might have some luck. I have enjoyed writing some
small bits of software for openmoko, but still cannot use it as a
primary phone.

Some claim that Qtopia works well on the device. I haven't tried it
recently enough to comment.<br>
