Well, as long as others are keen to share their positiveness, I
thought I'd chime in as well. :P
The sudden death of my previous smartphone kicked me into using the
freerunner everyday as main (and single) phone.
And I'm glad to say it has done a proper job for over a month, even
though I flashed it every 2 or 3 days. :)
I have lost a few calls because of software issues, but these were
exceptions (pun intended).
I tried the first 4 distros (OM2007.2, ASU, FSO, Qtopia) as soon as I
got the phone (simultaneously in multiboot from the sd-card), and
after a day I had thrown away Qtopia because it was too polished and
not flexible enough (from an experimental point of view). :)
Then OM2007.2 got axed, so it went away too. But I couldn't yet wrap
my mind around FSO's objectives, and I needed a working phone with a
few extras, so FSO got the axe too. This left me with ASU (now
officially OM2008.8), which I proceeded to torture almost daily with
all the opkg feeds (including "testing") I could get my hands on. When
OM reorganized the repositories, this caused a lot of confusion for
me, but now I know what to expect from where.
I finally settled with the standard OM2008.8-update because it is the
right balance between "stable" (as in "I won't lose calls and SMSs")
and "experimental" (as in "I can try/develop all kinds of
python-powered stuff and play with the geeky HW peripherals too").
The GPS works well (usually around 40 seconds to get a fix if the
signal is any good - I did the capacitor hack as soon as I could,
which was an interesting labor hour where I lost 3 capacitors because
they are so damn small :S ).
The GSM is also ok, although I got once a couple of complaints of bad
audio quality - this is now gone, it was probably a bad SW image.
SMS is also no problem.
The accelerometers have been fun to play with (duke3d, gestures,
accelGame) and make for good "showing off" of openmoko.
Wifi mostly works - some APs better than ...
