Both dialers are in repos and I bet a lot of folks will install them not
knowing that OM dialer really brakes things. Are there any instructions
how to fully remove OM dialer + gsmd or how to fully remove Qtopia to
fix it without reflashing? And why gsmd was replaced with qpe in the
first place? Is gsmd somehow bad/buggy/obsolete? If it is so, would OM
dialer will be ported to talk to qpe?
