This indicates something wrong with your modem - i dont know what it exactly 
is. I saw i several times, but reboot always fixed it in the end.

You could get more info what is going on if you ssh to your phone and do:

/etc/init.d/qtmoko stop
source /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env
qpe

If you dont need modem, you can try to edit /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env and set:

QTOPIA_PHONE_VENDOR=dummy
