I'm still using 2007.2, because in my experience it does have the most<br>
solid phone/sms functionality.<br>
<br>
It's far from perfect, though:<br>
- Suspend / resume is a dog, and since it's not being worked on any more<br>
I'm doubtful that this will ever be fixed. I have suspend and resume<br>
turned off, and use the 'dim only, don't lock' option, which turns off<br>
and locks the screen (despite the label), but doesn't suspend it. This<br>
gives reasonable reliability, but means you're limited to about 4-6<br>
hours of battery life.<br>
<br>
- hangs - after amassing quite a few SMS's and a large call history, it<br>
takes a *long* time to open the dialler or the messaging application.<br>
During this time it's sitting at 99% CPU utilization. It works, but you<br>
need to be patient. Thankfully the dialler seems to pop up quickly when<br>
you're recieving a call.<br>
<br>
- Lockups - after using it for a while, it seems to require rebooting<br>
about once every 2 days or so - it just seems to freeze for no apparent<br>
reason. This may be due to something I've done.<br>
<br>
I'm impressed by Qtopia and by FSO3, but both have caveats which for me<br>
meant using 2007.2. I'm not a fan of ASU / 2008.x at all, although I am<br>
about to give FDOM a try.<br>
