I'm also still using 2007.2, which is reasonably stable.

I have the same usage/behavior as Dale Maggee wrote.

I also hope that 2007.2 can be improved and maintained until there is a
really stable distro.

I&#39;m still using 2007.2, because in my experience it does have the most<br>
solid phone/sms functionality.<br>
<br>
It&#39;s far from perfect, though:<br>
- Suspend / resume is a dog, and since it&#39;s not being worked on any more<br>
I&#39;m doubtful that this will ever be fixed. I have suspend and resume<br>
turned off, and use the &#39;dim only, don&#39;t lock&#39; option, which turns off<br>
and locks the screen (despite the label), but doesn&#39;t suspend it. This<br>
gives reasonable reliability, but means you&#39;re limited to about 4-6<br>
hours of battery life.<br>
<br>
- hangs - after amassing quite a few SMS&#39;s and a large call history, it<br>
takes a *long* time to open the dialler or the messaging application.<br>
During this time it&#39;s sitting at 99% CPU utilization. It works, but you<br>
need to be patient. Thankfully the dialler seems to pop up quickly when<br>
you&#39;re recieving a call.<br>
<br>
- Lockups - after using it for a while, it seems to require rebooting<br>
about once every 2 days or so - it just seems to freeze for no apparent<br>
reason. This may be due to something I&#39;ve done.<br>
<br>
I&#39;m impressed by Qtopia and by FSO3, but both have caveats which for me<br>
meant using 2007.2. I&#39;m not a fan of ASU / 2008.x at all, although I am<br>
about to give FDOM a try.<br>

&gt; Does 2007.2 really provide a rock-solid phone/sms experience?<br>
