This GPS problem shows a lot about the community vs openmoko.
Some try to help (developers?)
Some complain (regular users?)

But what is really amazing is that a fix is almost ready right after
the problem was addressed:)

People with a working GPS without SD card, will soon have a
working GPS no matter what. They should be extremely happy,
not complain.

On some phones, the GPS does not work without the SD card
and I am afraid there will be no software work-around for that.
The good thing is that this HW bug is only on a few of the phones.

I respect Openmoko and I know they do their very best to solve
these issues. It is better to let them work with solutions than to
complain.
