Maybe i'm teh luckiest guy in the universe, but i've been using my fr as

a daily phone without problems (i am always reachable, i don't even know

what wsod is, echo is there, but barely noticable, no buzz, te testing

image is *FAST*)

there are some issues (e.g. i don't like the qpe apps), but the basics

are working RELIABLY.

the antenna the put into the pill is awesome: i am the only person at

the pub, who has reception (which is not always a good thing, becaus

there are so many annoying folks out there who keep stealing my time).

i am using the testing image (but i also have a backed up 2008.9 which

is working perfectly, but slower than the testing, which is why i

switched to testing)
