Yes, both should work. Once you turn on the GPS device, you should get signals 
after a while. Please see how it's used in the Zhone UI. That reminds me that 
we need to add more examples. Daniel?

You should get a signal 'IncomingMessage' once the device receives a new 
message (provided you are registered to the network and the SIM is unlocked). 
Then you can use RetrieveMessagebook("unread") to read the new messages.

Currently we only support text-mode SMS (and phonebook). PDU mode is currently 
under construction (see trac.freesmartphone.org) and will be finished soon. 
This will enable all kinds of languages for SMS.

You can add multiple keyboard layouts. This is out of scope for 
freesmartphone.org, but please see the discussions on 'illume' (which is the 
launcher and window manager profile and deals also with the keyboard).

Thanks,
