Hi everyone

i am looking into buying a new cellphone, but it absolutly needs to be syncable with my Zenwalk Box. it would be best if it was not limited to either Icedoce/Sunbird, Evolution or Kontakt.
It should sync over Bluetooth and maybe offer WLAN.
I'll leave the price range open to see what comes up.

cheers

Ya seems like Neo FreeRunner based on OpenMoko suits u.

I have been tracking the Freerunner for a long time now
But I kind of get the feeling that they are not getting it to a usable point any time soon.
I need to call and be called, send/receive SMS reliably. I am not 100% if the Freerunner is ready for general usage.

Any other phones from maybe nokia, samsung or else?

Motorola cells seems to run Linux kernel.

sorry, with "for Linux", i did not mean that they have to run Linux, but have to run WITH Linux, meaning all the syncing.

Don't we have Wammu packaged in [extra]?

So does Gammu guarantee proper syncronization? I dont want any surprises with not syncing cellphones...
All I need is to sync my calendar and my contacts. if possible both ways...

I received the Neo Freerunner yesterday, and I will test out Zenwalk on it when I get the time:)
It is apparently a sub-par phone however, and more like a handheld computer. Best thing with my work is that I get these gadgets for free. ATM, I'm drooling for a Nokia Internet Tablet.

I'm having a Freerunner for a while now (about 5 months)...and...it's a pain I must say.

It's really slow...very slow... (graphic CPU is not very good, and the the free driver cannot acccess all code of the GPU if I remember well)
Second thing : the battery' life is a bit better than before but you couldn't use it for more than a day withou charging it...
There is some echo for the other person when hearing yourself. The sound is very bad handle...not a good point for a phone !
There are some good applications/ideas...but the developpement is slow and there is no base framework which is stable. It's unstable in all layers (but not the kernel).

The worst idea I think it to use E17 as main Window Manager... It's not finished and it doesn't work well on the phone. The interface is a bit strange to me... but it's just a matter of taste.

Good points : free, features (if there is application which can use it), fun

I read about this in the Linux Journal, if I remember correctly, and that guy installed Red Hat right away which was a lot more stable.
But as I said, it receives sub-standard reviews _as a phone_. We're testing its abilities as a handheld computer.

most motorola phones are running nice with moto4lin
