Hi all... Have some questions... I've been following Openmoko for a<br>
while now, Since the 1973 product... I heard Sean speak at the<br>
OpenExpo and have a few ?'s.<br>
<br>
1. Sean stated at the expo that he still carries a BlackBerry, and<br>
that by June he expects that the OpenMoko will no longer lose incoming<br>
calls.<br>
<br>
Is the Openmoko at that point yet?<br>
<br>
2. Currently, I'm a BlackBerry user (8700) ... carrier is T-mobile,<br>
and I use the following apps.<br>
(a) Address Book (Not sure if I can convert to .cvs, but will try this week)<br>
(b) eBible program (Genesis to Revelation... KJV)<br>
(c) eMail - I have at least 2 accts pushed to my Blackberry<br>
(d) text - (SMS)<br>
(e) Calendar, Tasks, Memo<br>
(f) Personal Finance -<br>

<br>
I'm trying to get rid of my BlackBerry and go Openmoko. =^) ... I run<br>
Ubuntu on my Desktop. Do you think that I can get rid of my<br>
BlackBerry? Can I get the apps that I need? From what I've seen, I<br>
believe that I can get the basic apps that come with just about any<br>
phone, but what about the Personal Finance app. Ascendo is a pretty<br>
nice app.<br>
<br>
Can KMoney or something like that be installed on Openmoko? What<br>
about GnomeSword Bible?<br>
<br>
Would it be cheaper to buy the "A6" from the Blowout Sale, and then<br>
have SDG fix the buzz issue, or am I better off buying the "A7"? Is<br>
the A7 just the A6 with buzz fix? I'm confused on this point.<br>
<br>
Thanks all. Thanks Sean. I just want to thank everyone that has<br>
worked on this project. You are all incredible people. G-d Bless you<br>
all.<br>
<br>

</blockquote><div><br>I'll not go into technical details but keep in mind that using the FR you have to be prepared to live with an unstable environment! I never used Blackberry (and I would never use it due to severe security risks!) but I assume that the applications there do work!<br>
<br>Having that in mind, don't expect Openmoko to provide you with a 'turn key solution'! Is a struggle but ... a NICE one :)<br></div></div><br>
