After flashing the newest snapshot (and 2.6.24 kernel) yesterday, I decided to give the Neo a try as everyday-phone again.<br>So I took it with me today, did some calls and so on.<br>It mostly worked fine, the battery lasts about a day (standby + doing some calls and playing around), except one freeze after waking it up from standby.<br>
Unfortunately I can't use the Neo as phone.<br>As I work in field service for a big mobile carrier, I use my phones outdoor and usually some hours a day. Especially the first point is not really possible with the Neo.<br>
The volume of the speaker is _much_ too low, it's hard to understand your opponent if the wind is blowing and there's a street close. There also are echoes on both sides, so it's really hard for the opponent to understand you. There also is a hall effect that is very annoying.<br>
At moment there's no chance for me to replace my Nokia with the Neo. Hope it's getting better.<br><br>Well, last but not least there are some positives to report: SMS and Incoming/Outgoing calls work good now, the Neo wakes up from standby if a call is comeing in, what is pretty good for the battery. Thanks to the bright display it's also possible to dial and read SMS in the sun, although the display is transmissive.<br>
