The image from qtopia.net i a bit older, but seemed to work the best, i.e. most stable, whereas the Scaredycat-version was newer. Well, I didn’t dive more into since I just wanted to try it.

Another thing is, that QPE only worked with my Telmore SIM-card (uses TDC) and not my BiBOB SIM-card (uses Sonofon). I didn’t know whether it was a general problem, so I flashed my Neo 1973 with the newest OpenMoko from http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/?M=D (21-Oct-2007 09:55). I’m currently building my own image, but I really have to go to bed, so I’ll try that one tomorrow instead and settle with the Scaredycat-version for now.

Before continuing, I’d like to say that until now I’ve never been able to make a call from OpenMoko, not even registering the SIM-card. So I’m actually really exiting. I’ll of course try both SIM-cards.

I’m currently booting OpenMoko with my Telmore SIM-card. It’s actually quite slow – and it’s not feeling any shorter by staring at it. Finally done. The Matchbox panel is again not starting, so the usual

/etc/matchbox/session

is executed, and the panel appears. Well, OpenMoko isn’t working with the Telmore SIM-card. I’ll give it a reboot and see. I’m so excited about being able to call from this, and it doesn’t work – it beginning to be a bit frustrating (although it’s a really bad skill for a developer to exhibit). After the reboot several things are working: the panel appears immediately and the screen light fades when the screen is not pressed. Despite these promising signs, I’m still not able to register the SIM.

Well, I guess I’m not going to try the BiBOB SIM-card anyway right now. The next step is to attempt some of the hacks mentioned on:

• http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel,
• http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_GSM, and
• http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_SMS

Goodnight!
