| Openmoko battery discharging, suspend and resume have not been ironed

The problem with charger restarting is solved

and suspend and resume should be on a way more solid footing now on the
2.6.28-rc andy-tracking kernels.  Starting next week the root
filesystems will be adapted for these kernels and we start to provide
packages for them.

| Now, If you can't get to fix these today, how do u expect a person to
| program it well enough to rescue it back? You can't expect everyone to
| spend all their time getting their bare minimum phones to work, do
| you?

Well, three of the four things you mention are solved AFAIK.  It leaves
"people have been giving commands to get the GPRS modem to work"... it
doesn't quite sound like the terrible thing that supports the general
argument you're making.
