</div>my 'moko, which is the same hardware rev. as yours, is my daily usable<br>
phone.<br>
<br>
it took 3 days of solid work to make the phone usable when i first got it.<br>
with later revisions, this time has decreased, due mostly to improvements<br>
in the distros, and partly to my increased familiarity with the device.<br>
<br>
if it's of any use to you, my step-by-step guide to what i did to my moko<br>
to get it working on 2008.12, with links to some earlier writeups, can be<br>
found at <a href="http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/openmoko-3.html" target="_blank">http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/openmoko-3.html</a> .<br>

<br>
</div>to be honest, i found the documentation excellent - but very widely<br>
distributed; it's not all on the wiki, nor on any one website. this<br>
doesn't surprise me, as the 'moko is such a general-purpose device, but i<br>
agree that it's unhelpful if you're starting from cold.<br>
<br>
i urge you to persevere with your 'moko. people do regularly use exactly<br>
that model as a daily 'phone, with a variety of distros, though it does<br>
take some work.<br>
